CASE STUDY  -  CULTURE IN INTERNATIONAL PROJECTS

Organisation
European ATC Service Providers

Requirement
Partners involved in this complex international collaborative IT project often had specific views on the way the project should be managed, which were different from other partners. This lead to some difficulties in agreeing the approaches to managing parts of the project. Unless the differences could be resolved, they could cause delays and disrupt the harmony of the project.

Approach

	Discuss with the partners their views on the different ways of managing critical aspects of projects
	Identify realistic management options for the current project
	Identify any common elements in the available options
	Develop and agree management methods based around common elements
	Discuss new approaches with key resources and obtain agreement

Outcomes
A better understanding of partners views on project management was obtained. This improved the harmony of the project.

Once the different views were understood, agreement was obtained on the most appropriate ways to manage the various parts of the project.
