. How can you overcome organizational, functional and cultural barriers?
. How can you leverage diversity and create added value from it?
. What leadership style works best with multicultural and/or remote teams?

How will you benefit from the seminar?

Methodology

The seminar combines cognitive knowledge and behaviors with experiential learning styles such as interactive presentations, open discussions, breakout sessions and role plays. We work with the IAK team development methods and build on them with theories from Fons Trompenaars (Riding the waves of culture). Practical tasks and actual case studies allow participants to create awareness and to fine-tune their understanding of cultural differences.

Format and target groups

We offer intercultural team development as company internal trainings with the following formats:

. Working with a bi- or multicultural team in a team development workshop (1-5 days)
. Seminars as part of internal personnel development programs with the topic of “Intercultural Teams/Leadership”

Detailed topics and duration of the training will be tailored to your needs.
