We help companies build and implement global competencies through consulting and cultural training.

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.

"I can highly recommend a cross-cultural programme with Signe. Her background, combining research and practical knowledge of Brazilian culture and the market, has provided us with concrete tools that we use on a daily basis."

Multikulturelle teams - Connecting Cultures

Super exciting and useful course. A real eye-opener for me was realizing that I need to prepare better for the meetings I hold – I’ve discovered how important cultural preparation is to get the most out of meetings!
