Managing International Projects
Impressive cost savings, access to new ideas and expertise, and exposure to new markets provide powerful incentives for companies to forge new partnerships with overseas employees and distant companies. However, projects operating in this new environment often face unfamiliar and unanticipated challenges. This audio session, led by Sue Freedman, Ph.D. and Lothar Katz, presents an approach for anticipating and addressing the special challenges of project management in international settings. The presenters discuss adapting project planning and initiation to the special challenges of international work; building and managing communication systems that work across different cultures, language and time zones; avoiding the confusion and delays caused by cultural differences in work practices and relationship rules; creating local ownership for foreign teams and maintaining critical project alignment around tasks, deadlines, and work standards; and designing and managing projects to meet the challenges of remote management.
