This is no more apparent in any part of the business than in the area of Information Technology (IT). Information technology groups are consistently executing projects in multiple geographical locations, both within the organization, and externally with vendors and partners around the world.
This trend toward utilizing more virtual teams is changing the role of CIOs, IT Directors, and IT Project Managers to require more expertise in managing geographically distributed teams.
