Cultures
Are you slowed down by culture-based problems in communicating and collaborating between your team and the parent company abroad? Does it seem like they just don’t understand the realities of your market?
 
Our Solution
We recognize that one of the major challenges international organizations are faced with is communicating across different cultures. Based on their experiences, values, expectations, and communication patterns, employees from different cultures interpret seemingly common experiences and communications differently, frequently resulting in conflicts and other obstacles to productive cooperation.

At times, co-workers based in other countries struggle to fully comprehend the realities of a market foreign to them; this commonly leads to tension and mutual resentment, becoming a major hurdle to effective teamwork.
Frequently, these factors are further compounded by the presence of barriers such as language, time, and space.

Step 1: Exploration
We will meet with you to review the unique dynamics of your company and, based on our extensive experience in the field, will propose to you a possible course of action.

Step 2: Workshop
Our cross-cultural workshops are designed to directly address these issues by encouraging a genuine dialogue and to fostering a better understanding between members of different national and cultural backgrounds, resulting in significantly improved work processes and cohesion within international teams.
The seminars range from 90-minute introductory presentations and three or six-hour team-workshops, to weeklong immersion programs.
