Teamwork is truly 'global' when a diverse group of people physically or virtually works together to achieve a goal that not only benefits them, their teammates, their organisation or their country, but also to some extent intends to benefit the world as a whole.

According to our definition, the word 'teamwork' describes the complete spectrum (modes) of interaction in teams. Collaboration, on the other hand, only describes certain modes of interaction. Collaboration is a mode of teamwork, but not every mode of teamwork is automatically known as 'collaboration'.

Working as part of global teams is less expensive than face-to-face interaction. Members can meet more frequently (online) than conventional teams can. This is an advantage when tight deadlines need to be met. In addition, teams composed of people from diverse backgrounds and cultures tend to create more innovative solutions than teams from more homogeneous backgrounds.

Global Teamwork is a valuable and inspiring 'approach to teamwork' for anyone who is serious about professional collaboration. Because of the current process of 'globalisation', global teamwork is currently one of humanity’s most promising challenges. In one way or another, all of us will eventually be confronted by its opportunities and obstacles.
