Today work is increasingly team-based, digitalized and flexible, with wide-ranging implications for the skill set required by employees, management, and organizations, for how humans are going to integrate work and life, and for how future society, business and ecology will develop.

It covers key requirements, responsibilities, and practices for setting up and maintaining high performance virtual teams on both local and global levels.
