CULTURAL INTELLIGENCE
Global recruitment and understanding
Cultural intelligence training
Our cultural intelligence training sharpens the general understanding of cultural interactions and differences and how culture plays a role in forming our behaviour and our view of other people’s actions.
Through research based results, we give you an insight in to the general cultural differences that play a role in cross-cultural collaborations. With that in mind, we train the ability to decode each individual situation and communicate and act accordingly in the international collaboration. In the development of your global mindset, we work focused on the formulation and implementering of personal strategies.

WORKSHOPS, COURSE, LECTURE, OR ONE-TO-ONE TRAINING?
We can advise you on the form that is most relevant to you. Read more here.
We always focus on your specific needs and put together a program that is based on your reality and industry. Before the training, you will therefore receive a questionnaire so that from your answers, we can clarify your needs and challenges. We tailor your workshop, course or lecture based on the knowledge from the questionnaires and dialogues with you.
At the training, you can opt to make individual culture profiles using the tool called GlobeSmart. Through Globesmart you are able to compare your individual profiles to the countries in question. This allows each employee to map which cultural differences he or she should be aware of. We are also certified in a number of other personality tests, team and cultural tools, which you can choose to integrate in your training. See more here.
