Practical tips for efficient intercultural collaboration

Intercultural training Nigeria

Intercultural training in Nigeria gives you an understanding of the specifics between the Sahel and the Niger Delta. The most populous country in Africa is characterized by its British colonial past, as well as tribal and religious differences. Most of the population in the north is Muslim, while Christians make up the majority in the south. The Biafra War, which shook the country at the end of the 1960s, is still fresh in the memory. The international airport in Lagos, the country’s largest and former capital, is known for its notorious shortcomings. What sets the country apart from other former colonies in West Africa, however, is its oil wealth. A member of OPEC since 1971, Nigeria is Africa’s largest oil producer. Intercultural training in Nigeria helps you to acquire the appropriate know-how to operate in this complex and uncertain environment. Global Cultures’ holistic approach, in which intercultural training is supplemented by intercultural coaching and intercultural consulting, will enable you to move confidently on the Nigerian stage without slipping.

Higher success rates for business and projects

With targeted intercultural training in Nigeria, you can significantly increase your business success rates when doing business in Niger – and benefit from smooth project processes, more efficient cooperation and better negotiation results. This is why companies operating in Nigeria are increasingly investing in intercultural competence. This is because many collaborations do not fail due to poor performance: As the renowned specialist journal “Psychologie heute” has found out through research, intercultural barriers are the cause in around 70% of all cases.

Increase intercultural competence – ensure success

When working with business partners from Nigeria, employees are often confronted with unexpected problems. In most cases, however, cooperation does not suffer from a lack of expertise, but from a lack of preparation through intercultural training Nigeria. As numerous studies have shown, the right intercultural preparation is the key factor in almost all projects, especially when it comes to a complicated region like Nigeria that encompasses several cultures.

How do you benefit sustainably from intercultural competence?

Creating awareness and trust in the Nigeria business

Intercultural training Nigeria enables you to create awareness of your own culture, your own management style and your attitude to working with Nordic colleagues and business partners. Furthermore, intercultural training Nigeria helps to build cooperation on the basis of mutual trust.

Targeted communication is the key

Intercultural training in Nigeria will teach you how to communicate efficiently with local partners. This will also significantly improve the motivation of your employees and their loyalty to the company. After our practice-oriented training, you will eliminate misunderstandings in communication and develop a deeper understanding of the mentality of Nigerian colleagues and business partners.
