Join PMI CV for the first dinner event of 2019/2020!

Speaker: Mark Hehl

Topic: Cross Border Project Management

Cross Border Project Management is becoming a way of life for today’s professionals. Cross-cultural contact is increasing, creating a greater potential for both conflict and cooperation. Given this rapidly changing environment, the ability to relate to people with varying cultural backgrounds is an essential skill for project managers that play to win.

This program focuses on results-oriented leadership, collaboration and communication with individuals and organizations from different world regions. Going beyond mere tolerance, this program delves deeply into barriers to effective international project management, and provides strategies for building productive international teams.

Key Topics:

• Globalization and the Changing Role of the Project Manager

• The Importance of Culture Understanding and tailored leadership for Project Success

• A contrast of two dominant world cultures

• Examples of cross cultural faux pas and their negative effect on projects

• Effective communication strategies

• Applying Culture for Successful Projects
