The Framework
What is Virtual Intelligence?
Virtual Intelligence is the ability to work effectively across digitally mediated environments. It is for anyone collaborating with clients, colleagues or partners across geographies and platforms â nearly everyone in the modern workplace.
The Virtual Intelligence framework has 5 elements:

Virtual Coordination & Collaboration

Virtual Mentorship & Feedback-Seeking

Work/Life Balance in Virtual Settings

Virtual Meeting Etiquette

Cross-Functional Relationships

Key challenges
Why Does Your
Organization Need This?
As work shifts onto digital platforms and into hybrid models, old in-person practices simply donât cut it. Virtual Intelligence fills skills gaps, reduces friction and boosts engagement for flexible teams.
Consider these real-world challenges:

Projecting Professionalism
Common Challenge: A prestigious law firm had to let go of two talented associates who excelled in their legal work but struggled to convey professionalism during remote meetings with new clients.

Having Global Work Etiquette
Common Challenge: An employeeâs repeated failure to account for time zones when scheduling calls and deadlines disrupted productivity and team cohesion.

Navigating the Workplace
Common Challenge: A remote team member needs support but isnât sure how to ask for it from their peers or manager, leaving them feeling overwhelmed and unproductive.
