Kiss, Bow or Shake Hands. Cultural Awareness in Teams
Whether you are looking for facilitation of a quick simulation experience around team cultural awareness for a conference event or a more focused team development programme concentrating on diversity and cultural awareness in teams, we can develop an event to meet your exact requirements.
This is an example of an event that develops an appreciation of what is needed to work effectively as a member of a multi-cultural team, or with cross-functional teams. There are business truths in one culture, which are falsehoods in another. There are social niceties in one culture, which can be the personal insults of another.
To be a successful player in today’s global market place demands a repertoire of style, a respect for diversity and an understanding of diverse cultures. It means taking a keen interest in how a person might possess a widely divergent perspective on a matter that seems abundantly clear to you.
