Living and working abroad Working in cross-cultural teams
Dr. Arno Giovannini and lic. phil. Reto Mischol
We shall accompany you and your employees as you enter new professional and private phases in your lives.
Only a comprehensive and holistic approach to professional and career planning in harmony with individuals’ further development at a personal and family level can ensure success for the expatriate and the company alike.
The starting situation: other countries, other customs
Without knowledge of the differences in culture and mentality, without knowing how your foreign business partners think, feel and act, which communications and conflict-solving patterns these apply, you run the risk of misinterpreting your business partner and thus jeopardizing your success abroad.
The solution: cultural, personality and language training to extend cross-cultural skills
It is only through cultural, personal and task-focused preparation of the responsible persons that international assignments and company start-ups abroad can be prevented from becoming failures. We develop your cross cultural skills, raise your understanding of the specific working culture and the commercial and socio-cultural characteristics of your target country, provide you with tailored training for communication and negotiation strategies and the key behavioural tactics required when doing business with locals.
