Our Story

Founded in 2013, ConnectingCultures is a consultancy firm specialized in optimizing communication and collaborations across cultures. Through consulting and training, ConnectingCultures enables organizations and employees to build and implement a global skill-set. ConnectingCultures is founded and headed by CEO & Principal Consultant, Signe Ørom and includes another 21 country- and culture specialists.

Our Story

After completion of her Ph.D. degree in culture and language, Signe Ørom decided to pursue a career outside the academic world and become a self-employed business owner. Driven by personal interest and an increasing need for guidance on business culture in the BRIC country Brazil, Signe Ørom established Brasilienkonsulenten (Brazil-Consultancy) back in 2011.

It soon became clear to Signe Ørom, that the clients’ needs for cross-cultural training went beyond the Brazilian focus of the consultancy firm. Knowing this, Signe Ørom decided to establish a new business to accommodate the needs of her clients. Signe Ørom founded the consultancy firm ConnectingCultures in 2013 and since its establishment she has delivered trainings in more than 20 countries.

In ConnectingCultures, we value research-based knowledge, which is why Signe Ørom is associated with the University of Copenhagen, as a senior researcher. Staying connected to the academic world enables Signe and ConnectingCultures to offer cultural training that not only delivers research-based knowledge, but also ensures that the most recent global competencies are implemented in the cross-cultural work of our clients.

Mission

Vores mission er at optimere samarbejde og kommunikation på tværs af lande ved at udvikle medarbejdere og lederes kulturelle kompetencer og dermed sikre virksomheders globale succes.

Vision

Vores vision er at formindske afstanden mellem skandinavisk erhvervsliv og resten af verden ved at øge den kulturelle forståelse og udvikle kulturelle kompetencer.

Vores historie

ConnectingCultures blev grundlagt i år 2013 af Signe Ørom og er et konsulentfirma, der er specialiseret i at optimere kommunikation og samarbejder på tværs af lande og kulturer. Vi hjælper virksomheder med at opbygge og implementere globale kompetencer gennem rådgivning og kulturtræninger. ConnectingCultures er grundlagt og ledet af CEO & Principal Consultant, Signe Ørom og består yderligere af 3 Principal og Senior Consultant og 21 lande- og kulturspecialister.

Vores historie

Da Signe Ørom færdiggjorde sin Ph.d. i kultur og sprog, besluttede hun sig for at forfølge en karriere uden for den akademiske verden som selvstændig erhvervsdrivende. Drevet af personlig interesse samt skandinaviske virksomheders stigende behov for vejledning omkring forretningskulturen i BRIK-landet Brasilien, oprettede Signe Brasilienkonsulenten i år 2011.

Det blev hurtigt tydeligt, at kundernes behov for tværkulturel træning rakte udover konsulentfirmaets brasilianske fokus. Signe Ørom besluttede derfor at etablere en ny virksomhed for at imødekomme kundernes behov. Konsulentfirmaet ConnectingCultures blev oprettet i år 2013 og siden oprettelsen har Signe Ørom lavet kulturtræninger i mere end 20 lande.

I ConnectingCultures prioriterer vi forskningsbaseret viden, hvorfor Signe Ørom er tilknyttet Københavns Universitet som deltidsforsker. Tilknytningen til den akademiske verden gør det muligt for Signe og ConnectingCultures at levere forskningsbaseret viden og sikrer samtidig at de nyeste globale kompetencer bliver implementeret i vores kunders tværkulturelle arbejde.
