International Work

Should there be the need to work in conjunction with teams based nationally or internationally, we propose these ideas to help limit the effects of distance:

* Earlier than usual planning of briefs and gathering of insights
* Briefs to be specific and accurate
* A linear approval structure on the client side
* A flat structure on agency side with direct access to senior staff
* Favour internet, and video conferencing telephony to limit travel and hotel costs.
* All projects to be managed via an Long Distance Client Management (If applicable) agreed Timing Schedule: A fixed time daily to talk & discuss briefs and work-in-progress
* Weekly WIP schedule on all projects – to be discussed Mondays.
* Mobile phones on both sides to smooth telecoms efforts
* Explore Skype and a dedicated FTP site for cost viability and speed
* Order and Invoice process to be systematic & meticulous – both sides Limit the amount of billing paperwork:

Specifics to be further detailed in a final contract should we be given the opportunity. Details of operational issues could then be worked on together.
