Paul Nieminen is responsible for United Parcel Service&#8217;s change programs in Europe and Asia, Al Pacheco is a consultant for <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ibm.com\/us\/en\/\">IBM<\/a> doing a cultural diversity program for the major accounts teams, and Karen Waterlander works in Finland for <a href=\"http:\/\/www.kone.com\/corporate\/en\/Pages\/default.aspx \">Kone<\/a>,\u00a0 the fourth-largest manufacturer of &#8211; and service provider for &#8211;\u00a0 elevators in the world. There were many others &#8212; too many to mention. What a great group!<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n<p>What was amazing was how many things we had in common. Everyone had encountered resistance from each country because of their perceived uniqueness and everyone struggled with having to engage people and sustain change over great distances.
