Managing Global Teams for Success

Today few disagree that globalization is critical for company success. Yet creating and managing a global team remains a challenge for companies large and small alike. Collaborating to achieve goals while navigating language barriers and cultural pitfalls requires well-honed communication, teamwork, and management skills. When the global team is virtual as well, spanning multiple time zones from US to Asia to Europe and the Middle East, an even greater level of respect, understanding and skill is needed for success.

This program sponsored by CSPA in partnership with GABA, SiliconFrench, HispanicNet, NetIP, and SIPA will provide insight into the techniques, tools and processes that US, European and Asian companies and managers have used to successfully manage global teams for success.
