Chidambara Ganapaiah

What was the essence of your presentation?
The essence of my presentation was to present a general understanding of the Middle East Region, business opportunities and importance of this region in the current economic scenario. Managing & Nurturing the Relationship is as critical as Optimizing the Project Plan & Costs! I also covered some ideas on how to successfully manage a project in this region.

What were the key take-aways for the audience?
What works and what does not work in the Middle East region, what are the key points one should be aware of while doing a project in this region. The Middle East Culture is based on ‘Trust’ even at the workplace, so verbal commitments are as serious as the written contract & should be respected equally!
