According to Gartner Research, the top five reasons for offshore project failures are:

​

• Hidden costs

• Loss of productivity

• Poor commitment and communications

• Cultural differences

• Lack of offshore expertise and readiness

 

This program addresses the last three issues and supports your organisation’s efforts to minimise failures by mitigating foreseeable communication and cultural risks.

 

Globalisation strategies are now well understood and widely applied by senior executives. However, over the past decade the business world has realised that although a corporate strategy may make a lot of sense on paper, there are many reasons for operational failures. Clients ask vendors to indicate in their proposals how they will overcome these risks if an offshore element is involved.

Today’s reality, and tomorrow’s success, depends on the implementation and operation of the corporate globalisation strategies already established.
