Wim Elfrink Video Blog: Globalization, Change and Talent

Wim Elfrink, Cisco EVP and Chief Globalization Officer, is based in Bangalore, India. His boss, Cisco CEO John Chambers, is based in California. With this distance, how do they work together effectively? No, this isn't the idea for a sit-com. This is real life. Of course, TelePresence is the short answer to how they work together, but a lot more goes into it.

He will be giving his perspective on globalization at 1:15PM PT today and you can watch him on the webcast or come back later and view the video archive.

Watch this short video to see Wim answer the following three questions:

- How do you prioritize and manage your work/life balance?
- Change management is key to making globalization successful. Do you see your role as a change agent?
- How will you capture talent in the global talent market?
