Global teams exist to meet organisational goals of reaching overseas markets, servicing clients 24/7, leveraging existing expertise across the company and implementing complex business strategies. They can be multicultural, virtual, work on a specific short-term project or a long-term business effort. Individuals can work in a team either on a full-time or part-time basis. Whatever the shape and size of the global team, its success will depend on a range of factors and training is definitely one of them.
