Digital services are a crucial part of the modern business world. Business Analysts, Product Owners and leading digital visionaries alike need to consistently adapt to ever-changing global trends. Digital services are changing business for the better, globally, but being able to approach business collaboration from the right angle makes efficient cross-cultural management practices vital in 2019.

New-age technologies, Agile methodologies, design thinking, growth hacking strategies are just a few of the many drivers of change, yet they have one common enabler – culture.

As a full-stack platform delivering Agile tech & digital services to clients worldwide and a global team of 1,000 people spread on 3 continents, acknowledging cultural diversity and showing awareness to different cultural styles and business profiles has allowed Pentalog to build team and client trust.

As part of this year’s agenda of the BA&Beyond Conference, Irina Rogojina, experienced Product Owner at Pentalog, will develop the idea of cross-cultural management in a presentation aimed at demonstrating the value of cultural competence in improving collaboration and building successful business partnerships.

On March 28th, Pentalog Product Owner Irina Rogojina will be on stage at BA&Beyond to host a presentation about cross-cultural management. Save the date and join her for an interesting talk!

Culture: A Divider, or a Key to Success?

If the phrase “Culture eats strategy for breakfast” sounds familiar, it’s probably because Ford President Mark Fields said it.

Business culture is still a sensitive and underrated topic, not least because much of business strategy is still created without considering or incorporating cultural elements.

Pentalog values cultural diversity and incorporates it into its overall business strategy, whether when collaborating with remote teams or engaging multinational clients.

After more than 25 years of experience in IT outsourcing, we have learned that if approached correctly, cultural awareness can bridge gaps between service providers and end users and provide an avenue to effective business communication powering cross-border partnerships, greater revenues and better hiring at companies of every size and type.
