Collaboration challenges are the main issue
of our time in this, the Digital Age. But is the world truly ‘flat’?
Is distance really dead? So say those that claim that with the advent of
mobile communication technology, distance has become a non-issue. But funeral
plans for the death of distance are premature. Pioneer Karen Sobel Lojeski
redefines the concept and coined the term “virtual distance” which explains
why we still can feel “apart” even when we are “always connected” – and
this leads to significant impact on key success criteria. Karen presents
empirical data about perceptual and behavioral shifts and shows how new
workforce dynamics can have measurable impact on performance, innovation,
and leadership. She presents valuable “how tos” on ways to improve results
and well-being throughout the enterprise.
Karen Sobel Lojeski, Ph.D. is CEO
of Virtual Distance International, a research-based management advisory
company that creates breakthrough models and methodologies for improving
performance, leadership and innovation in globally integrated enterprises.
She is the author of the new book, Uniting the Virtual Workforce: Transforming
Leadership and Innovation in the Globally Integrated Enterprise, John Wiley
& Sons, 2008 and one of only a select group of works in the Microsoft
Executive Leadership Series. She is a highly sought-after international
public speaker and is a Director's Visitor at The Institute for Advanced
Studies at Princeton, a collaborator at Stanford’s MediaX Lab and a Presidential
Fellow at Polytechnic/NYU University. Her work has been showcased in BusinessWeek,
Forbes.com, The New York Times, Entrepreneur Magazine, CIOInsight.com,
and more. Karen is the Moderator for the Virtual Work Forum at

and will be a featured speaker at the Project Management Institute, Society
for Information Managers, HR.hub and more later this year. Karen
