Synchronization Context

Syncing between Istanbul and Ottawa is challenging due to the 8 hours offset. Teams should prioritize asynchronous communication or specific 'handover' windows.

Istanbul Business Pulse

Culture A bridge between East and West. Business is personal, and hospitality (tea/coffee) is a prerequisite.
Lunch Break 12:30 PM - 1:30 PM.
Pro Tip Aim for calls between 10:00 AM and 12:00 PM or 2:00 PM and 4:30 PM. Turkish business culture is highly relational; starting with "Nasılsınız?" (How are you?) and building rapport is essential. Avoid scheduling critical calls late on Friday afternoons.

Ottawa Business Pulse

Culture Formal, professional, and influenced by government and high-tech industries.
Lunch Break 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM.
Pro Tip Ideal call window is 9:30 AM to 11:30 AM. Ottawa is the capital of Canada; expect high professional standards and formal protocols. It is also a major tech hub. Punctuality and clear communication are highly valued. Avoid calling late on Friday afternoon.
