PMI BeNeLux Day

Why interpret as cultural difference what is in reality a failure of communication?

Work becomes more difficult as a) inter-disciplinary, b) inter-lingual and c) inter-personal sources of misunderstanding become more prevalent.

A number of metrics and indicators to enable rapid identification of early warning signs in cross-border projects are given.
