How can you communicate with someone who is resistant to change?
I have found throughout my career that if you share your vision of what could be with a definition of why we are pursuing this path, that people will change their minds. Conversely, there are times that no matter what you say or do as a leader that people will not change their minds. At this point, it would be prudent to move on without them.

What are the most effective ways to ensure project goals are understood in international teams?
I was in charge of a extremely technical and critical security upgrade for a large, international financial firm. My colleagues resided in London, India, Singapore and Hong Kong. My first step was to understand each country's culture regarding communication, language, gestures, understanding, etc. I held my status meetings based on the various time zones. During the project, a colleague from Japan sent an email to the CIO stating that I was the only US PM that held progress and status meetings within their timezone. I established a trust relationship and I had their confidence.

How do you track IT outsourcing communication quality and performance?
My experiences come from both sides of the table: Corporate and Provider. Corporations must assemble a team of business and technical personnel to decide what systems they want to outsource and develop a comprehensive RFP detailing goals, architecture, performance objectives, communication plans, penalties, reporting metrics to name a few. Comprehensive is the key word. Research into the providers is extremely important. Interviewing their engineers and customers offers insight into how proactive the provider is. I stipulate action over reaction. Make sure you have an out, keep your options open. Establish rapport. Trust is a key element. The Provider must listen, understand the pain points and be held accountable and responsible.
