Develop the cultural competence needed in today's global workplace.

Give your employees the tools they need to navigate the complexities of cultural differences and work more effectively on global projects.

Work and life are global. Your employees need to understand cultural differences, both abroad and at home. That understanding will be the difference between success or failure for your organization.

Cultural competence is a journey. We’ll help you plan every step so that you succeed—wherever you are.

Set a cultural competence benchmark

How do you know you’re improving if you can’t measure your growth? We use a suite of proprietary assessments, such as the Global Team Assessment, to quantify your team’s cultural competence. These assessments turn gut feelings into measurable, reportable metrics.

Building Bridges Between Cultures

We worked with 400 Kia Corporation employees from South Korea and Mexico to improve team trust, establish cultural understanding, and develop a shared vision and strategy for improved collaboration.

[The 30-day learning journey] resulted in clearer communication across our global teams, as well as notably fewer style conflicts. This program leads to real behavior change.
