Our services in an intercultural environment
Where intercultural competence decides on success and failure
Our Cross-Cultural Consulting Services.
The subject of an intervention can be any type of project or management issue initiated by organizations in an intercultural environment. This ranges from knowledge-transfer workshops to the support of extensive change projects. Some examples follow.
Apply intercultural communication professionally.
That we are not all “programmed” in the same way, we experience not only in greeting rituals and small talk. Communication is fundamentally complex, all the more so in an intercultural setting. Misunderstandings, disappointed expectations and helplessness are often the rule in cross-border cooperation. As in every project, there are also material losses. It is therefore essential to prepare thoroughly for iterating with people from other cultures. This is where our cross-cultural consulting services can detect systemic weaknesses and provide valuable solutions. Our combined project management and intercultural experience can contribute substantially to the success of your projects..
Cross-cultural consulting: Culture diagnostic
A cultural analysis makes differences in the basic attitude and communication style of the respective team members transparent. An open discussion about this in the team promotes integration and prevents potential conflicts. Based on the knowledge gained, line managers and project managers can use synergies from the different culture-based characteristics. A cultural analysis can also be used to determine the various motives of the stakeholders in a project and to act accordingly.
Management of internationally distributed teams.
The management of intercultural, virtual teams is very complex compared to local groups. The lack of face-to-face communication is at odds with the everyday need for interaction. Promoting team identity and motivation requires an increased perception of the manager in their role as communicator, inspirer and coach. Our cross-cultural consulting services and trainings considerably minimize risks and provide a valuable support.
Cross-cultural consulting for post-merger integration
Overall, one in two mergers fail. This is mostly due to the underestimation of “cultural distance”. Since two organizational cultures and two national cultures collide in international mergers of companies, special skills are required from managers. This means the ability to behave in a culturally appropriate manner and to lead effectively in an intercultural area. Our cross-cultural consulting services can provide many appropriate solutions.
Our perspective.
The development of intercultural competence allows conflicts to be avoided within a multicultural organization and at the same time increases productivity. For the individual, the acquisition of this ability means a big leap in personality development. The manager who makes it has reached a higher level of leadership. The manager who makes it has reached a higher level of leadership. This is the subject of our cross-cultural consulting services.

You have enriched our group with your fine, sovereign and careful manner and made a significant contribution to the fact that we were able to implement the first module at this altitude and in this quality.
I know from the participants that they really enjoyed being with you and were inspired and touched by you and your learning opportunities.
It was equally fascinating and pleasant to listen to you. In the evening I was touched for a long time by the mutually loving way you made your presentation. You gave each other space and complemented each other well - a noticeably harmonious team of two people, both of whom have exciting and rich professional experience
Nourredine Yous is a skillful negotiator who consistently manages to guide all satisfactory solutions. He manages conflicts successfully due to his great knowledge of human nature, his ability to empathize and his intercultural competence. The needs of its customers are always the focus. As an "ambassador" of our company at home and abroad, he is very much appreciated.
Thank you again for dedicating your time to our problems. I sincerely admire the way you handled the situation with a lot of diplomacy, raised awareness of the real problems and, most importantly, guided us to common solutions.
The cooperation workshop with our service partner was a complete success, thanks in particular to Franziska's targeted, professional moderation.
Many thanks for the insight into your lessons, which seemed like a good start to the day. You took the participants and their experiences as a starting point.
