According to a study, 86% of executives identify ineffective communication and collaboration as major causes of failure in business. In multicultural teams, this percentage can be even higher.

How can diverse teams communicate more effectively? Firstly, by becoming aware of cultural differences across the globe. Secondly, by learning communication techniques and practicing them.

In this conference the participants will learn to overcome communication challenges in a playful and interactive way. They will get answers to a number of questions:

  • What are communication styles across the globe? How do they impact oral and written communications?

  • How is feedback given across cultures?

  • How should emotions be managed in a multicultural workplace?

  • What are the foundations of trust across cultures?

  • In what ways does culture influence our relationship to the group?

  • How do different cultures manage risk and uncertainty?

  • In what ways leadership and management styles are impacted by culture?

  • What should be taken into consideration in decision making across cultures?

  • How to address different disagreement and conflict management styles?

  • How do we relate to time?

The conference mixes theoretical and practical input. It is structured around case studies and real life business examples.
