Webinar: Cultural Intelligence and Diversity

In collaboration with Noca, Signe gives an inspirational talk about cultural intelligence and diversity.

Collaboration across cultures, whether virtual or physical, is essential in many companies and organizations, and culture is present in nearly all aspects of any international collaboration.

It can present challenges, from fundamental cultural biases about what a good leader is to interpretations of micro expressions such as tone of voice, eye contact and body language.

Whether it is the Danish project manager in Dubai struggling with unspoken social rules, the Indian IT-worker in Copenhagen who must navigate the Danish humor or the leader who leads a virtual multicultural team across 8 locations – cultural differences are at play.

When: 2nd of February 2023

It takes more than just setting a diverse group to achieve the benefits that cultural diversity offers. It takes an inclusive mindset to achieve this DIVERSITY BONUS in the workplace, by creating an environment where you truly benefit from the cognitive diversity amongst your team members and the unique skills, life experiences and perspectives that diverse workers have.

Through humorous examples, cases and quotes from experienced global leaders from different companies and organizations such as LEGO, Novo Nordisk, Vestas, Arla, Maersk, Rambøll, AAK, COWI, Blue Water Shipping, HydraSpecma, PepsiCo, UCB BioPharma and Tajco, Signe Ørom provides insights into how we can use cultural intelligence to strengthen our global collaborations.

This interactive talk is for anyone with an interest in culture in the workplace and how companies can benefit from diversity.

Collaboration across cultures – whether virtual or physical – is essential in many companies and organizations, and culture is present in nearly all aspects of any international collaboration. It can present challenges from fundamental cultural biases about what a good leader is to inter- pretations of micro expressions such as tone of voice, eye contact and body language.

Based on several years of research and two decades of collaboration with various international companies, ConnectingCultures’ founder Signe Ørom, Ph.D., is ready with the book and seminar “Did You Get the Point? Cultural Intelligence and Diversity in Global Collaboration”. The seminar is aimed for any leader, team or employee looking to develop and strengthen their cultural intelligence, and improve the conditions for successful cross-cultural collaboration in the work-place.

Drawing on the many humorous examples and cases from the book and combining it with her own reflections from her decades-long career, Signe Ørom offers a highly practical and relatable perspective on one the most burning questions for contemporary organizations:

How do we work effectively across our cultural differences?

This is just one of the questions you can get insight into during the seminar. Furthermore, you will learn about the following themes:

  • What is cultural intelligence and how do we develop it?
  • How can our cultural diversity be an advantage and how can we achieve the cultural Diversity Bonus?
  • What characterizes the Danish business and working culture and what should you be aware of as an international working in a Danish organization or context?
  • And what should us Danes be aware of?
  • How can we create psychological safety and trust?

Time & Place

  • Where: Webinar – in front of your pc/tablet/phone
  • When: Thursday 19th January 2023
  • Time: 17.00-18.30

Pressemeddelelse fra Samfundslitteratur

Hvad er kulturel intelligent, og hvordan kan man udvikle den?

Samarbejde på tværs af kulturer – virtuelt og fysisk – er helt centralt i mange virksomheder og organisationer. Til det har man brug for kulturel intelligens. Ny bog lærer læseren at håndtere internationalt samarbejde. Bogen udkommer på dansk og engelsk samtidig.

 Samarbejde på tværs af kulturer – virtuelt og fysisk – er helt centralt i mange virksomheder og organisationer, og kultur er til stede i stort set alle aspekter af det internationale samarbejde. Det kan give udfordringer.

Hvad end det er den danske projektleder i Dubai (som kæmper med usagte sociale regler), den indiske it-medarbejder i København (der skal navigere i den danske humor) eller lederen (der leder et virtuelt, multikulturelt team på tværs af otte lokationer), kan der være kulturelle forskelle på spil, som kan udfordre.

Forstod du, hvad de sagde? tilbyder konkrete redskaber til at håndtere globalt og virtuelt samarbejde med internationale kollegaer, samarbejdspartnere og kunder. Gennem cases og citater fra erfarne ledere fra forskellige virksomheder og organisationer som LEGO, Novo Nordisk, Vestas, Arla, Maersk, Rambøll, AAK, COWI, Blue Water Shipping, HydraSpecma, PepsiCo, UCB Pharma og Tajco kommer bogen godt omkring en lang række af situationer, der typisk giver udfordringer i det globale samarbejde.

Bogen er til lederen, medarbejderen eller teamet, der vil udvikle kulturel intelligens.

På dansk og på engelsk

Bogen findes også på engelsk: Did You Get the Point? De to bøger er meget ens, men adskiller sig ved, at den danske udgave er rettet mod danskere, der arbejder globalt, mens den engelske udgave er tilpasset til internationale, der arbejder i en dansk organisation eller på anden måde samarbejder med danskere.

Ny bog: KOMMUNIKATION I INTERNATIONALE VIRKSOMHEDER

Ny bog: KOMMUNIKATION I INTERNATIONALE VIRKSOMHEDER

Signe Ørom, indehaver af ConnectingCultures, er medforfatter på bogen KOMMUNIKATION I INTERNATIONALE VIRKSOMHEDER, som kommer d. 24 august 2016. Bogen er resultatet af en række undersøgelser foretaget på Københavns Universitet og griber emnet kommunikation i internationale virksomheder an fra mange forskellige vinkler. Signe har bl.a. bidraget med et kapitel om kulturtræning og kompetenceudvikling af medarbejdere og ledere i danske virksomheder hen imod et globalt mindset. I samme forbindelse har KU sammen med IDA arrangeret en konference på KU d. 19 september, hvor man kan få svar på spørgsmål som: Hvad er internationale virksomheders udfordringer med medarbejderes egen indbyrdes kommunikation? Hvordan opnår man et globalt mindset og skaber tillidsfulde relationer til sine samarbejdspartnere? Hvordan kan man træne det? Du kan også møde erfarne globale ledere fra Vestas og maersk m.fl.
