7. LackofVendor
ManagementTrainingToo often, the transition from in-house to
outsourced occurs, and remaining business team
IT managers are not equipped with the unique skill
set needed to manage a third-party team to
success.
8. Poor Relationship
Building Skills
To deliver excellent results, the two teams must
operate as one. Key team members must
possess outstanding relationship building skills
to cultivate an engaged, collaborative
environment despite geographic barriers. With
IT training focused almost exclusively on
technical skills, many IT professionals and
managers need to build skills in this area.
10. CulturalCommunication
Differences
It is no secret that diverse cultural groups have
different styles of communicating.
Understanding the differences between high
and low context cultural communication
styles is key to ensuring mutual understanding
and building a collaborative culture.
