An American Helps Ukrainians Transfer Knowledge to Indians

(Decorist : 8/18-9/18)

Challenge

One week after joining, I realized that a Knowledge Transfer trip (T-3 weeks) for the 8-person Kiev team to handover reins to the newly-formed 25-person Delhi team based was in jeopardy because travel logistics had not been taken care of.

Action

I persistantly followed-up with six East coast corporate travel coordinators over two weeks, advocating on behalf of the Ukrainian team while also securing my own travel.

Early Sep 2018, I hopped on a flight to Delhi. Before we got down to business, we enjoyed a day outing.

Then, we gathered to kickoff the week.

Results

  • Coordinated travel, led the agenda, and ensured a smoothly-faciliated-transfer while on-site.
