Communicating Effectively in Multicultural Organizations

Purpose:
Every day organizations lose time, resources, and desirable employees and customers because they do not take cultural differences sufficiently into consideration. In addition, many organizations lose out on the competitive advantage they could acquire if they used the differences to create more innovative, complex solutions to their work-related problems. The seminar will give participants new ways of looking at and understanding their own and other cultures and will show how cultural conditioning affects different areas of work like organizational structure, strategy, decision-making, human resource management, and teamwork.

Objectives:
Understand cultural differences and how this affects cross-cultural management practices;

Communicate more effectively and clearly across cultures, both verbally and non-verbally;

Build cross-cultural analytical skills to enhance communication, stimulate creative thinking, and develop stronger working teams.
