Many companies are "too close to the forest to see the trees". It helps to have a 3rd party step back, see the big picture and ask the question that they themselves often forget to ask of their manager and remote employees about what the biggest pain points are regarding remote collaboration. We can then recommend the best tools and strategies to help improve virtual teamwork.

This task would be a great one to outsource a third party to see the big picture.

Virtual does make it sound "not real" and remote does convey the feeling of isolation. To me distributed is too clinical sounding. Unfortunately most of the terms you hear tossed around have some type of negative connotation surrounding them. Jason and I have had this exact same discussion many times looking for the right term. One of the points we often make is that it really doesn't need a special term as today it's simply "work" - because this is the way so much day to day work get's done. However it would be great to find a term to help differentiate this type of work from everyone being co-located in the same place.<br><br>I'd love to know what others think about this? Might have to put a poll on this site or some other kind of brainstorming session to try and find the best word to describe working from anywhere.

These teams and offices are not virtual, but real. It is not easy to find the perfect word. Remote is close, and maybe the best. But remote sounds too much like separation emotionally and intellectually. Is there a word the emphasizes remoteness spatially? I don't like so much use of the word “virtual”.
