Globalisation

What is achieved?

• A clear understanding of the impact of culture at individual, team and organisational levels with a roadmap for success
• Self awareness and feedback on cultural sensitivity and cross-cultural adaptability
• Tools and frameworks for resolving cross-cultural dilemmas and building teams across borders
• An awareness of the impact of culture on strategy, leadership and management and levels of cultural impact
• Teams develop their own code of conduct and monitor each other’s behaviour

How do we do it?

Our team of experienced consultants are multi-lingual and ethnically diverse and believe that cultural differences between people and the impact of culture on organisations is critical in today’s rapidly globalising world.
Our programmes focus on:

• Cultural awareness. An understanding of culture and its’ impact on behaviour and decision making
• Resolving cross-cultural dilemmas with a methodology for conflict resolution
• Building teams across borders by overcoming differences in ways of working and succeeding in mergers and acquisitions
• Train the trainer programmes which equip people with the knowledge and expertise required to cascade learning throughout the organisation

The four steps to successful multicultural understanding are:

• Know yourself
• Learn about others
• Work together and communicate effectively
• Revisit and re-evaluate

These steps will include any or all of the following:

• A cultural survey and/or a thorough needs analysis
• Setting up of legitimate channels of information
• Selecting the right leadership team
• Inspiring a genuine desire to learn and embrace other cultures
• Determining where there are differences in priority of core values in other cultures
• Implementing conflict resolution strategies before conflict arises
• Encouraging teams to develop agreed behaviours, whilst exploring and reviewing options
