Making cross-cultural partnerships work

One-day workshop

• A focused workout for project teams – including start-ups and temporary or transitional teams from different cultures who need to connect quickly and efficiently
• Supports teams in navigating differences, misunderstandings and uncertainty
• By understanding how each other's cultural assumptions, expectations and personal style impact behaviour, team members learn how to apply the team's diverse strengths to the immediate challenges in hand

The difference it will make

A significant boost to fast-track team performance. Teams will leave the session with a strong sense of connection, able to:

• Articulate a clear, common team purpose
• Focus on clear action plans to deliver team outcomes
• Communicate more effectively within the team and with other stakeholders
• Use a new set of processes for problem solving

What we cover

We facilitate managers and their cross-cultural teams working together on live issues, priorities and relationships:

• Understanding each other's cultural styles and perspectives and how to adapt own style to influence more effectively
• Managing the conflicting demands and expectations that come from matrix management
• Creating a common team purpose, vision and culture
• Addressing immediate blockers to delivery
• Developing on-going strategies for dealing with and resolving cultural misunderstandings quickly

Who it's for

Teams with members from diverse cultures; start-up teams; study or project teams which have hit delivery issues and communication problems. Teams who want to avoid communication problems.
