In March COVID-19 forced the team of Siemens Mobility IT to decide if they go ahead ramping up their offshore Technology Hub in India fully virtual or if they stop - they decided to go for it!
Key Takeaways:
The main success factor for the virtual ramp-up was to give the people the feeling of belonging and being part of the global organization. In addition to this transparent and continuous communication as well as virtual team building in various ways play a key role. The first step to create this feeling is a virtual onboarding week, during which the newcomers are welcomed with a CIO keynote, get to know the organization and learn what their team's function is. The team ensures that they understand the big picture!
