When two cultures meet that think about time differently problems arise.
From the American perspective it takes longer than it should to get things done in India. This is often because:
- Deadlines are thought of differently
- Project creep is alive and well
- Americans miss subtle cues about delays
When these three things combine, projects are over-budget and late.
In March we are talking about time orientation. Time orientation is how cultures think about time. Why does India think differently than America when it comes to time? But more importantly, how do we manage this difference?
In this webinar, I discuss:
- Strategies for tracking your project to avoid schedule slips.
- Strategies for working with an Indian team on deadlines.
- Strategies for outsourced projects: avoid cost overruns occurred with late delivery.
- The importance of time: what some contracts can’t protect you against.
Avoid project deadlines to slipping, cost overruns, and missing a market window. Join us on March 28th as we dive into the difficulties of managing time inside India.
