Practical tips for efficient intercultural collaboration

Intercultural Training CEE (Central and Eastern Europe)

Practice-oriented intercultural training CEE – Global Cultures – Academy for Intercultural Management – stands for up-to-date competence. The English-language term CEE (Central-Eastern Europe) has become established as a regional designation for many companies. This underlines the importance of the countries and companies of Eastern Europe as important business partners for Western European companies. At the same time, the cultural and mental differences in the region are enormous. This is not only due to the eventful history of the countries between the Baltic Sea and the Balkans, the Adriatic and the Black Sea.
Different ethnicities, religions and languages also mean that the inhabitants of this region have different ways of thinking and behaving. Profound knowledge of the mentality and business practices of these countries is therefore a necessary basis for success in CEE. Global Cultures – Academy for Intercultural Management provides you with this knowledge.

Mastering the challenges of intercultural communication

Without intercultural training CEE, successful communication is usually left to chance, because communication, employee commitment and expectations in Eastern Europe differ significantly from the usual style in Western Europe. The indirect communication style of Eastern Europeans is often confusing for Western Europeans and often leads to misunderstandings. The duration of projects or the conclusion of business deals usually takes longer than in a mono-cultural environment. This increases project and transaction costs. In the worst case, potential customers are often lost to the competition, which uses well-considered intercultural strategies and tactics. In an intercultural training course CEE from Global Cultures – Academy for Intercultural Management – you will learn how to correctly decode indirect statements and how to formulate such messages yourself.

Success through professional communication

In the CEE intercultural training course, you will learn how to significantly improve your efficiency in communicating with your colleagues and business partners from Eastern European countries. You will also noticeably increase the motivation and loyalty of your specialists and managers. After our practice-oriented intercultural training CEE, there will be fewer misunderstandings in communication. Furthermore, you will develop a deeper understanding of the mentality of Eastern European colleagues and business partners, which is the key factor for business success.

A good solution for many countries – our intercultural training is practical for 112 countries.

Global Cultures – Academy for Intercultural Management offers you a broad spectrum of: intercultural training and intercultural coaching — from general preparation training for short-term projects abroad to exclusive seminars and industry-specific intercultural troubleshooting.
