Welcome to Michael's blog

Organizations in multinational companies pretend to be global. In reality they are not aligned, losing performance, and do not cooperate. This blog supports you in working with global organizations and how to make them more effective. It focuses on the cooperation between South East Asian and European cultures.

Global organizations and intercultural management, two subjects tied together and are most important in today’s business life. I managed international projects in Asia and Europe, projects which further developed the global position of the company I am working with. Cultural diversity was the most essential factor in all projects. Team members from Singapore, Taiwan, India, China, Germany, Portugal... joined my challenge. I saw projects succeeding, I saw projects failing, and most important, I saw projects turning around.

• What does it take to make projects turn around?
• How to keep the team’s performance on high level?
• Whom to involve to successfully achieving milestones?

With this blog I want to share my experience and give you pointers which are helpful in your daily work with global teams. Even more I am interested in your view on the articles and on the subject. Please share your experience with me and leave a comment or send an email.

Happy reading!
