SCOPE
This program is designed for people who work on multi-national teams, irrespective of nationality. Based on Geert Hofstede's research: Cultures Consequences: International Differences in Work-Related Values, and my own experience of several years of learning, working with Indian, Chinese, Guyanese, Americans, British, and Africans from several nationalities the course enables people to experientially understand the challenges of working on Multinational teams. The focus of this course is to help people integrate into this culture while preserving their own identity.
METHODOLOGY
Using the Human Interaction Laboratory method, the program is designed to build an appreciation for each other's differences. Participants are enabled to look at themselves and their own stances regarding their culture and work ethic and helps people to move from their own 'right' ways to looking at other ways, which may also be equally 'right'. The result is enhanced understanding, new friendships and satisfaction.
TYPE OF INTERACTION
Typically the interaction tends to be based on the needs of each group in an environment that supports 'asking the unasked' and 'saying the unsaid'. Mutual 'value' judgments are examined to discover the basis behind them and deal with stereotyping. The only requirement for this workshop is an open mind and the willingness to let-go own impressions.
