Caltech CTME ELEVATED: Avoiding Issues in Complex International Projects

Exclusive ELEVATED webcast, Avoiding Issues in Complex International Projects.
International projects are often complex and dynamic by their very nature. Challenges extend from multi-cultural misinterpretation to language barriers and include managing diverse perspectives, international differences, and hierarchical restraints.
In these international project landscapes, project managers must strive to recognize the values and expectations of team members of varying cultural backgrounds. In our March 18 ELEVATED session, guest Kurt Moses, a senior executive with an extensive history in the education and health development sector, will talk with Caltech CTME’s host Nicholas Beaudoin. Together they will examine a high level checklist of potential hiccups to consider in your projects, providing tools that can help team leaders identify challenges before they become restraints.
Together they discuss:
• The snags in projects as they relate to process, collaboration, clarity and communication
• Understanding various governmental/regulatory systems; leveraging technology solutions that are accessible to the entire team
• Recognizing cultural differences and identifying concerns; understanding how members perceive authority, handle conflict, and process decision-making
Join us March 18 for Anticipating Issues in Complex International Projects and discover the tools that will help you achieve success in the global business environment.
