it just didn't make sense to me that so many highly skilled people could simply become surplus to requirement and thrown unceremoniously out with the trash! which economy in the world can afford to discard such a valuable resource so cheaply?
then the math hit me!
people + technology + project = virtual web team
the people are there, the technology exists, the projects are there ... what if they were all brought together? wouldn't that be a smarter way to do business?
what if they ...- all got together and shared their knowledge?
- formed specialist web teams for projects based purely on their individual skills and value add to the project, regardless of location?
- collaborated via virtual web team intranet cutting out the high cost overhead of traditional office infrastructures?
- delivered the highest quality digital solutions with complete project development transparency via virtual web team/client extranet communication channel?
- got organized?
they did! ... initially virtual web team was legally incorporated in london, england, on march 28, 2001 and recently registered in Scotland (company registration no.SC288446 - VWT Ltd). team leaders are collaborating now in:
edinburgh - hong kong - london - madrid - new york - phoenix - san francisco - sydney - tokyo
