Cross-cultural Consulting

Cross-Cultural Training

  • Don’t assume that even a very powerful corporate culture will render national influences insignificant. Employees facing actual conflicts between the two are likely to respond in ways typical of their national culture, not their organizational one.
  • Don’t give up on the benefit of diversity by suppressing national cultural aspects.
  • Do carefully assess the organizational culture against the local cultures in all countries and regions the company is engaged in.
  • Do take constructive action in order to keep employees motivated and committed when potential conflicts between organizational and national cultures arise.
  • And…Do consider the cross cultural expertise of your executive search firm! Do they truly have the expertise to attract and qualify global talent?
