The way we do business in our own country is not necessarily valued or accepted in a different cultural environment. People from other countries may question our professionalism, the same way we may have doubts about their own integrity. We may share similar objectives but we have different ways of achieving them. What provides the motivation and interest to others? What do they value? How do they work and how can we work effectively with them?
This workshop will:
illustrate how "cultural illiteracy" can seriously put at risk the success of any cross-cultural business relationship
identify crucial cultural differences to help avoid costly misunderstandings
discuss how your own culture is perceived and how this can impact on your effectiveness abroad
explain how to avoid pitfalls and develop fruitful business relationships with your foreign clients, partners or colleagues
demonstrate how your organisation can benefit from "cultural fluency"
The Result
By the end of this highly interactive workshop, participants will be able to capitalise straight away on new skills and knowledge by using simple and practical techniques to transform potential failures into profitable successes.
