Virtual meetings manual

Abstract

[Excerpt] In 2014, White reminded that it is very unlikely that a team will achieve its goals without quality meetings. In fact, good communication between team members is essential for tasks to be completed successfully (Anderson, McEwan, Bal & Carletta, 2007). However, the COVID-19 pandemic and the demands of social distancing have brought new challenges to corporate teamwork since 2020. At Bosch Car Multimédia Braga, however, this scenario of physical distance between teams is not new. As far as the project management department is concerned, it has long depended on the work of teams that are often geographically distant. Although most employees work at the same facilities, albeit in different departments, other project team members work from other plants and countries. Thus, remote communication in virtual teams is not new at Bosch.
