No matter whether you travel overseas on business, manage international customer accounts, work in an international team or lead one, or are assigned to a foreign office as an expat, intercultural skills are always relevant.

How our cross-cultural training works

The first step in creating a culture training program is to determine the needs of your organization.

Based on your needs, we will develop a culture training solution that directly addresses them.

With the program developed, we will then work with you to determine the best way to deliver the training.

Once the training is completed, we will provide you with the data and results to make actionable decisions for your business. We will also work to determine any additional opportunities for further training that might benefit your business.

The six levels of culture

Our intercultural training addresses the six levels of culture that impact people’s work-style preferences:

National/Societal

Level 1

What many people think of as the only type of culture. National culture is the result of a country’s social, political, and economic history.
