Who We Are:
  Virtual Distance International is a research-based consulting firm with a deep understanding of the new challenges companies face in the 21st century workplace.
 

  Our research has identified the real and measureable components of Virtual Distance that dramatically impact team and organizational success.

 
  Despite the benefits of increased virtualization in the workplace there are real and tangible business risks in managing a virtual workforce.
  Virtual Distance is an increasingly significant challenge that modern organizations face and must master to be successful in the new global economy.
 

 

What It Is:

 

  Virtual DistanceTM is the perceived distance between two or more individuals when their primary method of communication and coordination is not face to face.

 

  Virtual Distance can exist regardless of whether people are sparated by millimeters, miles or continental masses.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

How we measure it:

 

The Virtual Distance IndexTM

 

 

  Virtual Distance is measured using the Virtual Distance Index developed by Virtual Distance International. 

 

  It was developed to quantitatively measure Virtual Distance and associate it with team and organizational performance.

 

  Extensive studies have shown that the impact of high Virtual Distance can significantly hamper organizational financial performance, efficiency, innovation and effectiveness.
