John works for BAS Corporation, which grew over years through mergers and acquisitions of companies around the world. BAS Corporation wants to consolidate the disparate products from its different companies into a single product line to simplify new product development and achieve economies of scale. John is asked to spearhead this effort. Although he has managed many challenging projects successfully, John has never worked on one that involved coordinating the efforts of development teams from multiple sites around the world. He begins to wonder how his approach to this project would be different from managing a single-site collocated project.
