Abstract
IT today consists of myriad combinations of outsourcing, insourcing, offshoring, global development teams, and project teams scattered across multiple time zones. Technology abounds, integration and on-time delivery become mission critical, and process improvement demands increase. But... what’s the impact of all this advancement on the people involved? As the technical demands for faster, better, and cheaper software increase, so, too, do the needs for effective communication and cultural intelligence. This presentation examines the people side of IT globalization and provides insights and recommendations for succeeding with project teams in a truly global world.
