Temat: Interview with Anujit Mukherjee (member #1800) Written by...

In the interview below (conducted on the occasion of the 1800th membership in our LinkedIn group), Anujit Mukherjee talks about his experience as a programme manager, and suggests that negotiation plays an important role for the success of global programmes.

What was the most complex situation you lived on a global project, and how did you survive?

Laying out the Project Plan carefully and in details, and showing that the only returns would be reached if we had the current configuration, resulted in a common deal. This was extremely important to our Asia Pac growth and I had to drive a hard, but reasonable bargain via intense project negotiation based on clear scope and all the other project artifacts.
