Virtual task forces - any workable models out there?

Hi All

 

Has anyone experience of models that have worked - or not - where experienced people or SMEs transfer expertise and develop less experienced people on specific issues ? Sometimes this is known as a "task force".

 

If the players are not in the same business unit, division or country and do not sit next to each other, one of the big issues of a "virtual" task force is how do you motivate appropriate behaviour given many people's loyalties may be to their country first. Is compensation/recharging for time spent a solution, or should knowledge should freely travel around a global organisation? In theory it should be the latter, but in practice I'm looking for workable models that navigate the political issues involved.

 

Look forward to hearing from you.

 

Thanks

Phil
