Culture Clash
The Seven Dimensions of Culture Universalism vs. particularism (Importance of rules v relationships?) Individualism vs. collectivism (Functioning in a group or as individuals?) Neutral vs. emotional (Displaying emotions, or hiding them?) Specific vs. diffuse (Do we handle our relationships in specific and predetermined ways, or do we see our relationships as changing and related to contextual settings?) Achievement vs. ascription (Do we have to prove ourselves to receive status, or is status given to us?) Sequential vs. synchronic (Do we do things one at a time or several things at once?) Internal vs. external control (Do we believe that we can control our environment, or do we believe the environment controls us?) Source: Fons Trompenaars, Riding the Waves of Culture

The Black Market Many developing economies have a thriving black market for contingent workers i.e. Mexico, Russia, Middle East Undermines credible, professional suppliers Inhibits social acceptance and creates union opposition Make sure your suppliers are properly licensed!

Identifying Complex Markets They grow olives They drill for oil They dance salsa
Main Causes of Failure Lack of sponsorship No clear ROI for the business Moving too fast Minimal project planning Skimping on appropriate resources Not involving your suppliers Misjudged localization requirements Inadequate budget Not engaging all stakeholders Underestimating change management
Global Programme Governance Model Source: Staffing Industry Analysts: Building and Operating a Global MSP Governance Structure, Feb 2012
Even Complex Markets have Redeeming Features In relatively immature staffing markets, the pricing environment for temporary labour will likely be quite benevolent In developing economies, trade union influence is likely to be restricted In many underdeveloped staffing markets, the use of independent contractors will be quite widespread and the regulations relating to the use of independent contractors will be quite relaxed perhaps even non-existent
All complexity is relative Summary Contingent worker procurement is one of the more complicated procurement categories regardless of geography Complexity multiplies for managers responsible for multi-regional or global contingent workforce programmes Local expertise is the key to unlocking the most complex staffing markets In-house expertise to ensure you understand and respect the local language and culture Professional legal expertise to ensure your programme is legally compliant Supplier expertise Toto, I ve a feeling we re not in Kansas anymore
