Doing Business Globally
This program builds individual and team competencies required for working, managing, and leading across cultures and geographies. This program is aimed at demonstrating the impact of culture on communication, building relationships, business culture, and management styles. Participants are introduced to the TMC model of culture and the significant cultural differences encountered when doing business in selected countries and within a global structure. They receive a personal Cultural Orientations Indicator® Assessment which is used during the course to identify critical gaps and practice cultural style-switching to increase personal effectiveness. The core of this program engages participants in a simulation which allows them to experience a global team environment and apply skills and techniques when working with other cultures.
Doing Business In...
Doing Business in...(Country, Region) assists professionals who do business in a new geographic region or country and need to optimize their cross-cultural skills and effectiveness by increasing awareness and specific knowledge of business, social, and market cultures. Participants explore the cultural background of a country, its history, geography, natural resources, and contemporary society, as well as business etiquette and practices. On the basis of this awareness, participants develop critical skills: cultural due diligence, style-switching and cultural dialogue. These skills are practiced in the context of building relationships, presenting, negotiating, teamwork and collaboration, exercising leadership, managing performance, selling, and marketing.
