Our Philosophy

We enable you to overcome the challenges you can face when working with your colleagues, employees and partners from different cultures, however, this is not our primary goal.

HOW WE MAKE OUR SOLUTIONS WORK

Understanding your needs

We perform a needs analysis prior to the commencement of our training programs and workshops. This includes questionnaires and self-assessment tools, as well as conducting interviews and focus groups, which allows us to identify your specific needs and tailor our solutions to them.

To fully customize learning and make it as effective as possible, we also recommend running a cultural audit to produce the Company Intercultural Excellence Strategy. Following this, as part of executing the strategy, we design and deliver the most appropriate learning programs

Well-designed programs and professional trainers

Our workshops are not about packing you full of information. Their principal goal is to put you through a process of self-reflection and make an impact on your motivation.

This is why our priority is to provide you with professional trainers, coaches and facilitators who have the experience and cutting edge practices to engage an audience and reach every participant taking part

Practical knowledge

We know how important it is for you to see authentic business cases, especially when it comes to working in a new business environment, which is why we make sure that our workshops are as practical as they are engaging and eye-opening. In order to achieve this:

We assign a trainer with the relevant business experience
We add (when needed) a subject matter expert who is experienced and knowledgeable in the specific country or industry
We provide you with a trustworthy mentor who will share their expertise and provide advice on any relevant business topics as part of the post-training support

Follow-up

We believe that follow-up activities are crucial to a successful learning process, which is why we have developed the following solutions for you:

Individual coaching: hands-on and fully customized to meet your needs
