Cultural Integration For Global Collaboration

July 19, 2014 — 1 Comment

While nearly everyone in today’s global workplace recognizes the need (and appreciates the value) of collaborative work, it is not easy – especially when cultural differences, time zone challenges, work and communication styles enter the equation. Despite this, true global collaboration is simply too valuable not to take advantage of because it provides you, as a leader, with a significant opportunity to leverage learning, negotiate meaning, and share aptitudes – creating high potential sources of competitive advantage.

The rapid pace of globalization and the growing number of collaborative technology solutions have enabled virtual work while the demand for skills from around the world have made it a necessity. However, collaborative teamwork in virtual environments is not intuitive.

February 11, 2013 — 3 Comments

Slide1

Communicating is probably this single most important thing we do – yet we often pay little attention to how we communicate. While basic communications are important, in the business world cross-cultural communications have become essential.  Even if you do not work across regions, it is highly likely that the person in the office next to you, or perhaps even your boss, is from a culture different from your own. Even though you may speak a common language, communication goes much deeper.  In the spirit of understanding that different cultures espouse different worldviews, here are just a few of the orientations that often differ and may help you gain some perspective as to why it is often difficult to communicate across boundaries & borders: Continue Reading…

Virtual Success: Managing Your Meetings

July 10, 2012 — Leave a comment

The fact that your teams are virtual means you have to keep them engaged during meetings or they will drift off and it is highly likely you won’t get the outcomes you are counting on. Often virtual meetings can be boring, hard to sit through, and unproductive. Here are some simple ways to maximize the value of virtual meetings and make them less agonizing for everyone involved:
