You are invited to participate as expert panel member in our consensus study on International Online Collaboration Competencies (IOCC). The purpose of this study is to build consensus on the key competencies for International Online Collaboration, which gained importance specifically during the COVID-19 pandemic, where global virtual teams were becoming increasingly important.
We are interested in getting the perspective and experiences on IOCC from an expert panel of experts from the academic field as well as practice-based experts. As academic expert you published on IOCC or virtual teamwork within the last 10 years. As practice-based expert you are either are or have been a member/leader in/of a virtual team. Your experiences, perspectives and comments on key competencies for International Online Collaboration are highly appreciated.
Timeframe for the study
The iterative nature of a Delphi technique means that participants are anonymous to each other, but not to the researcher (quasi-anonymity). Your participation in the survey is voluntary. The survey will take about 20-30 minutes and can be interrupted at any time:

The first round is already completed and aimed at answering the question if the given competence domains are completely and accurately reflecting IOCC, and if a change of domain titles or wording is needed.
The second round (12th – 23rd of November 2020) aims at reaching consensus on the results of the first round, and you are asked about your opinion on a given set of competencies developed in a previous systematic review.
The third round (3rd - 13th of December 2020) aims at reaching consensus on the aligned competencies and your opinion on which competencies you consider as most relevant for evaluating IOCC.
What is in it for you?
The final outcome of this study will be an expert consensus on International Online Collaboration Competencies, which is important for training future workforce and for the continuous development of current workforce.
There is no compensation for participation in this study, but the results will be of importance for higher education and the future workforce.
