Abstract

Fostering a creative environment in virtual teams is possible, but it is more difficult than for traditional face-to-face teams. In order to support creativity in virtual teams we need to deliberately create a human-centered team. The most effective way to do that is to build that is built social connectedness and team cohesion, solid team processes, and psychological safety and trust. This can be done through the creation and use of rituals for a virtual environment. This chapter provides guidance to create rituals for virtual teams that support creativity.
