...It's not just the giant corporations that are going global. Companies of all sizes are looking to increase efficiencies and enter new markets. We are seeing a tremendous rise in project teams with globally-dispersed members. Leaders are beginning to realize that notions of “diversity” must expand beyond traditional categories to include cultural differences as a key aspect of effective cross-border collaboration. 


Companies that invest resources into ongoing intercultural consulting, training and coaching are positioning themselves for success in an increasingly competitive global market. In this interactive session, you'll learn smart approaches to developing intercultural competence. 
Key Takeaways:
  • Increased understanding of the link between intercultural leadership and global success
  • Knowledge of best practices for increasing leadership in your organization
  • Specific strategies for impacting intercultural leadership through training and development
Topics of Discovery
  • What global companies know about the need for intercultural skills: two 2012 studies (Economist Intelligence Unit, British Council)
  • Intercultural best practices
    • Accept cultural difference as a reality
    • Leverage cultural difference as an asset
    • Study yourself — doggedly
    • Learn about others — compassionately
    • Take action, repeat
  • Expanding on the last best practice: train and coach your people on an ongoing basis
Competency Addressed: Leadership, Global Readiness
