Cultural Competence is a crucial necessity in order to develop and nurture relationships with multicultural colleagues and clients.

While most companies have mastered the technical capabilities to connect electronically at a distance with their counterparts, understanding and identifying the needs, expectations, and potential of people form cultures that are different than our own remains a struggle for most.

Business goals in another country can no longer be accomplished successfully without a solid understanding of that nation's culture and customs.
Cultural insensitivity can lead to loss of new business, difficult mergers and acquisitions, and failed multi-national projects.

Our Cultures and Protocols seminars provide an effective and cost-efficient method of imparting a comprehensive culture and country knowledge to international business leaders and their employees, strengthening relations with international counterparts, clients and prospects.

Cultures and Protocols Seminars will help you:

• Establish good working relationships across cultures
  
• Avoid offending people from a different culture
  
• Learn how to adapt to "their" culture without compromising your own values
  
• Understand different nationalities' behavioral dynamic in meetings and negotiations
  
• Understand harmful and helpful aspects of cultural stereotyping and generalization
  
• Eliminate the potential of having cultural conflicts and misunderstandings that could add a significant amount of time and cost to the project you are undertaking
  
• Improve the effectiveness of your business in the "global" arena that requires international co-operation and understanding.
