Global trends are reshaping the competitive dimensions in the world and are driving the need for increased use of “borderless,” or global, project management. The management of the global projects cuts across organizational and national borders. To be successful, project managers must be prepared to overcome a unique set of obstacles. Special challenges arise from differences in cultures, mores, tradition, values, philosophies and languages of the project partners. The financial risks and implications of the project can be immense, extending far beyond the financial capabilities of any one partner operating independently.

In Managing Global Projects, you’ll learn how to approach these complex global management issues as well as how to minimize the risks inherent in doing business in the worldwide marketplace. You’ll develop an understanding of the many unique problems inherent in managing a global project and explore ways to solve them.

You will also get numerous tips, templates and tools that you can apply to any of your global efforts. And, you’ll leave with an Action Log to focus application of your course experience in the workplace.

Reminder: Participants should have a thorough understanding of project management before taking this course.
