2. Leading Distributed Teams The New Leadership Challenge September 4, 2013 Portland, Oregon For some firms, their globalization strategies have been well executed. For most however, senior leaders and their staff are realizing that good strategy is not good enough. Typically only 18% of companies claim success. Changes in globalization strategy have to be accompanied by changes in global execution. Within an organization, focus must quickly shift from the development and initiation of their globalization strategies to operational success in developing their products and services in a global model. The strategy to improve business results through globalization has become increasingly common. Success in reaping the business value intended from the globalization strategy is unfortunately not as common. The key to achieving improved business results does not hinge on strategies alone but also on our ability to effectively lead global product and service development teams to successfully execute these strategies. In this 90 minute webinar Tim and Jim will share with you the principles, methods, tips and techniques required to successfully introduce or advance the distributed team capability in your organization. 83% of companies have increased their globalization efforts • About the Instructors • Tim Rahschulte, PhD is a professional consultant, published author, university professor, and expert in the field of organizational change management.
