Abstract
This paper explores how consulting can contribute to the success of virtual teamwork. Based on an introduction to the concept of virtual teams, the potential of virtual teamwork for consultants and clients is outlined. Central questions are: "For which reasons do virtual teams deserve additional attention by business leaders?" and "What kind of services can be offered by consultants that cannot be performed by the client organisation itself?". The paper finishes with a discussion of the qualifications and resources consultants should possess if they wish to consult on virtual teamwork, highlighting the broad range of requirements and the need to accumulate extensive experience.
