Building Strong Teams Across Borders: What You Need to Know
with Andy Hilliard
Sometimes the help you need is not in-house.... in fact, it may not be in-country. But to hire the best remote, out-of-country help, we need to integrate cross-functional teams that are agile, outcome-driven, and culturally cohesive. Otherwise, our efforts results in high turnover, poor product quality, delayed time to market, and repeated failure cycles—costing businesses significantly in both time and resources.
🛎 In this episode, CEO of Accelerance and author of "Synergea: A Blueprint for Building Effective, Globally Distributed Teams in the New Era of Software Development" pulls back the curtains to reveal the secret elements to successfully developing offshore labor that can help you build your business.
