Intercultural Management Competence:

Why are many trainings or seminars not meeting the expectations of the client?

H a v e    y o u     e v e r    e x p e r i e n c e d   t h i s ?

You return highly motivated from a seminar to your office and want to implement newly acquired skills in your daily business but you fall back into old habits?



One of the reasons could be that the seminar focused too much on theoretical and abstract situations by using Dos and Don’ts with little resemblance to your own reality. Another reason might be that we are often under stress and have to react under time pressure and – exactly during these moments – prefer to trust familiar behavioral patterns which provide us with comfort and security.  


In order to develop your intercultural management competence we therefore prefer a coaching-oriented approach by …
  • … using your existing strengths and skill-set
  • … developing solutions together with you for the situations you are facing
  • … trusting in small, feasible steps at a time
  • … considering how cultural factors and stress can influence your own behavioral patterns and those of your counterparts
  • … taking different perspectives of a situation into consideration.
Fortunately we do not have to “unlearn” proven practices when we work with people from other cultures. 

But success in international management is far more likely if we can add additional capabilities to our own set of skills.

We are convinced that diversity in our global management environment requires diversity in our own intercultural management competence.
