Assignment 1_Virtual Team

If I were a project manager of a virtual website design team, I think the most important task for me is to build the intranet social networking. At the beginning, I have to collect all information (including email address, phone number, personal website, IM information…etc.) and employees’ personal profiles from them. In order to assure we have a non-baffle communication channel.

With the medium Internet, I can send e-paper of our company daily to keep updating the policy and operating process of our company. I can also hold web-cam meeting weekly to make sure the project status. Online database is also an important point, which make everyone could update their working process and discuss the problem they face.

As to the identification, first I will hold some activities if possible, because I still believe that face-to-face communication could build people’s relationship in the most efficient way. I think the best way to build the identification is to make people feel they are a “family.” Remembering to mail a birthday will be my little recipe, not to mention in those wonderful holidays. Then offer some welfare to our employees such as gym coupons, movie tickets, or gift cards. Maybe online reading club will be a good way to connect peoples’ relations and minds.
