Key Findings

This research identified 61 issues commonly found while deploying best practices in unfamiliar countries, grouped in the categories shown in the table below, with their percentual contribution to the readiness metric. The specific weighting for each specific issue was also established. (RS294-1, p. 8)

A set of mitigation strategies is included in the research for addressing the gaps identified in the calculation of the readiness metric. The figure below explains the process. (RS294-1, p. 13)

The research also provides the meaning behind the scoring scale used on the tool as shown in the table below.
(RS294-1, p. 15, Table 3)

The development of the International Readiness Tool was validated using a survey that covered 10 projects executed by nine different companies in nine different countries in five continents. The validation confirmed that the tool was accurate and meaningful and the details are provided in the research. (RS294-1, p. 20, Figure 5)
