PMI BeNeLux Day

The Project Manager (PM) is increasingly presented with projects „beyond borders‟. Beyond borders relates to both geographic location and organizational aspects.

Projects beyond geographic location borders bring together team members based in different countries and from different cultural backgrounds. These virtual, non-colocated teams represent a managerial challenge, especially from the communication point of view.

Project teams beyond organizational borders are part of other disciplines or areas of expertise within the same organization or in collaboration with other organizations.

• How can the Project Manager manage virtual teams more effectively in projects beyond borders?
