Synchronization Context

Syncing between Istanbul and Sydney 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.

Sydney Business Pulse

Culture Relatively relaxed but professional. Early starts are common to maximize daylight.
Lunch Break 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM.
Pro Tip Due to the significant time difference with Europe and the US, early mornings (8:30 AM - 10:00 AM) are often dedicated to international syncs. For domestic calls, late mornings are best. Be mindful that many Australians start and end their day earlier than their Northern Hemisphere counterparts.
