Who is this course aimed at?
The Advanced Cultural Intelligence course module is developed to take you further up the cultural intelligence ladder from the introduction module “Introduction to Cultural Intelligence”. Have you already taken the first module? Then you are ready to climb further. The Advanced Cultural Intelligence course builds on the terminology introduced in the first module. Here we take you further so you become better at assessing complex cross-cultural encounters.
What will you learn?
in this course, Advanced Cultural Intelligence we will climb further up the ladder from where we reached with the introduction to Cultural Intelligence. We will learn why it is a bad idea to compromise and we will learn how the concept of Culture is far more diversified than we usually think. Understanding that complexity is one of the main attributes of great Global Leadership.
The attendees will also experience how to identify Cultural Dilemmas and how to reconcile these dilemmas into solutions that are far better than the ones you could obtain in a monocultural team.
Which topics do we cover?
- Avoid cultural stereotyping.
- Identifying cultural dilemmas.
- Reconciliation of cultural dilemmas.
- Motivating cultural diverse Teams.
Developing advanced Cultural Intelligence is like climbing a ladder; the higher you get the more you can see and the more you will understand. Here we continue to climb up from where we reached after the Introduction to Cultural Intelligence course module.
The workshop will be facilitated in such a way that the participant’s experiences will be blended with the academic content presented by the facilitator. There will also be individual reflection exercises when each participant is developing his or her action plan for change in order to become more culturally intelligent.

Why should you choose Cross-Cultural training from Gugin?
From we started the company in 2001 we knew we would need an engine that could keep us ahead of the competition and constantly deliver world-class consultance and training. The world is constantly changing and we need to change with it and indeally develop services that addresses the agenda of tomorrow. Gugin stands on 3 pilars: Consulting, Training and Research. They fuel each other with great ideas for innovation and service development. When, for instance, we are helping a company with corporate cultural change we might discover cross-cultural issues, we haven’t seen before. We then reseach it further and find a great solution to the client and we can upgrade our training portfolio.
So you will NEVER experience us using 50 years old research, like Hofstede’s cultural dimensions that promotes cultural stereotypes based on nationalities. In fact our research has shown that these stereotypes don’t exist and that if you are promoting stereotypes like “the french are like… and the canadians are like…” you will just create more conflicts.
In everything we do, we focus on how you can synergies from the cultural diversity and our approach is generic. Bringing different nationalities together is no different from bringing different companies, different professions, different age-groups or different sub-cultures inside a company together. All our training gives you generic tool for levelraging the cultural diversity, no matter where it exist.
We develop generic cultural intelligence you can use every where
