Intercultural Project Management
Which challenges does this course help with?
In an intercultural work environment, people from different cultures have different beliefs and values and they solve problems in different ways. Despite the great opportunities arising from diversity, these differences are a source of conflicts in international teams, which can endanger projects. Our Intercultural Project Management course helps align differences in the team with the overall project goals while at the same time, embracing diverse thinking and problem solving.

Intercultural Business Communication
Communication Challenges in an Intercultural Team
Miscommunication starts when the original meaning of a message transmitted by the sender is not "decoded" by the receiver in the way it was intended. We have the skills to code and decode messages in our own culture, but these skills are unlikely to be successful in cross-cultural communication. Why?
- The use of a foreign language limits our abilities to express and to understand
- We unconsciously use formulations like in our home culture
- Non-verbal communication differs across cultures in a way we are not aware of
- It is more difficult to understand from a person from a different culture whether or not a message was understood
The solution
Intercultural Business Communication Training helps your team to better understand people from a different culture by understanding the peculiarities of the own culture's communication style compared to others. The training also gives team members easy to use tools to better solve cross-cultural misunderstandings.
