		<itunes:summary>In this monthrsquo;snbsp;Jeitocast Karen Beaman interviewsnbsp;Sandee Piece on the cultural differences around the world that impact effective working relationships on a global project. Sandee shares her experiences and learnings developed over many years of managing large global teams and provides some helpful tips and recommendations to ensure effective global collaboration. Three areas in particular, she feels are critical to successfully managing a global team:

	understanding of the team's level of project management maturity,
	differing perceptions of time and meeting attendance, and
