Introduction to Cultural Intelligence
This is the foundation course that we recommend everybody to take. It introduces you to intercultural management and cultural intelligence. Becoming culturally intelligent is like climbing a ladder and in this intercultural course we take the first steps
Corporate Culture Discovery Workshop
You are probably good at assessing and acting on your financial risks, strategic risks, market risks, etc. But how good are you at assessing and acting on the cultural risks?
What if your corporate culture is a liability for the ability to hire the right people in the future? What if you have undiscovered cultural strengths? Most organisations actually do have undiscovered strengths. How well-aligned is your corporate culture with your strategy?
These are some of the questions we will help you find answers to during this 1- or 2-day workshop. At the end of the workshop, you will have a clear picture of your cultural strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats.

In this course module, we will climb further up the ladder from where we reached with 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.
Find your strengths and weaknesses as a leader
This course module focuses on helping you to determine your cross-cultural strengths and weaknesses as a leader. It is not uncommon that leaders experience that everything they have learned and skills they have developed are becoming less useful in a different cultural environment. That can be in a new country, a new organisation or when it comes to lead an outsourcing partner.

Motivating and rewarding a Multicultural Team
In this module, you will learn how to motivate and reward a multicultural Team. We are all different and we feel motivated by different factors depending on our cultural preferences. If we want to leverage the full potential of our team we have to differentiate how we motivate and reward each individual.
Leading through Change
Managing a daily operation can be challenging. Leading your team through major changes requires a whole new skill set. It is as far from business as usual as you can get. A high level of uncertainty, fears, political games, lies and personal positioning are just some of the things you have to deal with. All that at the same time as you have to complete an unfamiliar, risky mission.
The Global Project Manager
This course module addresses the special cross-cultural challenges project managers of global projects are facing. Project managers typically only have a short-term relationship with their teams with the one goal to complete a project. Depending on our cultural preferences we do however have very different interpretations of what is important. For some finishing on time is the most important and for other it is the quality of the delivery. Most project managers will claim they are aiming at delivering the agreed quality within the timeframe. The reality is we have to compromise and reschedule.
Other Courses
Improve collaboration and boost effectiveness and innovation in the healthcare industry
Facilitating cultural change in the healthcare industry can be challenging because we on one side have the experienced doctors who promote the best practices we are comfortable with and on the other side we have the younger doctors who promote all the new opportunities the new technology gives us. This workshop is about how we can reconcile this dilemma so both the older and younger doctors and the patients benefit from the diversity.

Accelerate the Innovation in your Organisation
Innovation is crucial for the competitiveness of your company. Unfortunately, most innovation projects don’t deliver the expected outcome.
Why do Innovation projects fail?
In short, because they are usually focused on a narrow part of the value chain. In order for innovation projects to really become successful, you have to innovate across the value chain, across corporate subcultures and sometimes with your customers and suppliers.
Increase Cultural Awareness in your Organisation
This 1-day course enables your organisation to work better together across profession cultures, national cultures, age-group cultures, company cultures etc. You learn to learn from people who have other perspectives than you. This way you all grow.
