Produktbeschreibung

Graphic tools and visual solutions for team building and development Visual Teams uses visual tools and methods to help teams--both face-to-face and virtual--reach high performance in today's work environment. As teams become more and more global and distributed, visualization provides an important channel of communication--one that opens up the group's mind to improving work systems and processes by understanding relationships, interconnections, and big picture contexts.
