For organisations
Cultural expertise for organisations working across borders
Training, coaching and research that help your people sell, lead and collaborate across cultures.
Culture shapes how people buy, negotiate, lead and work together. Since 1997 we’ve helped businesses, international schools, universities, government and non-profits understand those differences and work with them, drawing on our own research into intercultural transition. Every programme is designed around your people and your goals.

What participants say
“This was definitely the best cultural training I ever experienced for it was sophisticated, no clichés, and very intelligent. Just deluxe!!”
Doris Guenther
“This training was very relevant to my job in different areas. I can apply it immediately. What was most valuable was understanding the values behind the culture and how different countries use them. It helps me to understand if ‘problems’ may be cultural vs. individual, and to be more proactive in planning communications, outlining tasks, etc.”
Workshop participant
“I can’t tell you how much easier my life would have been in the last 10 months if I’d had this training when I first arrived rather than now.”
