I've worked with and for Lisa as part of an international UX Team at IBM for several years. As the Asia Pacific UX team member I can say that Lisa has a complete grasp of this complicated issue. This will be an awesome presentation.

Having worked with both Alex and Lisa remotely (and successfully) for the last ~9 months, I think this is a can't-miss if you're wondering how to synchronize a small or not-so-small team's efforts across time & space.

I have known Lisa to be an expert in many fields of endeavor and her experience in this area is especially relevant. In today's highly mobile and global workforce is an absolutely crucial topic.
