This workshop helps you understand how culture influences efficiency at work; it provides practical tools to develop strategies dealing with your individual

business challenges.

More than ever, managers have no time to waste: Yet they simply can’t help getting in the way of productivity. Workshop overview In this newly globalizing world, we tend to minimize the effect that culture has on business efficiency and productivity; we think, quite rationally, that working globally is more a question of adaptability. Indeed, why should I have more problems working with someone from another culture? Reality shows us however that messages and expectations are not always perceived as expected. Why is that? And what can we do about it? KamelionWorldTM has designed a one-day interactive cross-company workshop focusing on the challenges of working in a culturally diverse business environment. With your peers and KamelionWorldTM facilitator you will navigate through the fundamentals of cultural dynamics.

You will first get to understand of how communication patterns work from an intercultural perspective. You will quickly see that what seems to be interpersonal mis-communication often has its roots in cross-cultural differences. You will then practice with new tools that enable you to modify your work style and become more effective with your colleagues/partners/clients from other cultures. Who should attend? The workshop is designed for professionals (business travelers, team members, expatriates, …) working with colleagues/partners/clients from different cultures either in the same office or in a remote environment.

What will I be able to do after participating? - You will develop an awareness of cultural norms and an understanding of why perceptions might differ

from one culture to another. - You will be able to detect and interpret culture-related business behaviours. - You will learn about the 7 core competences of the KamelionWorldTM ‘Cultural Smartie’ Model - You will come up with new intercultural skills allowing you to consider

innovative, breakthrough solutions. Your Day: Sample Contents “Essentials of Intercultural Management” is a one-day interactive session that leverages the experience of the participants and encourages hands-on learning through the use of videos, discussions, role play, self-assessment and the creation of action plans. The audience is limited to 12 participants per group to focus on the priorities and on each individual need identified in the pre-assessment survey carried out prior to the workshop.

To achieve this, you go through a 4-step process following the principles of the UDARTM Model to understand, decode and then get straight into action before reviewing best practices.
