Practical tips for efficient intercultural collaboration

Intercultural training Colombia – expertise from the private sector

Intercultural training in Colombia will help you to develop successful action strategies for this country. If you believe the media, Colombia’s economy consists mainly of the production and export of drugs, while a helpless state tries to prevent this. The fact that the country is the second largest producer of cut flowers in the world is almost a caricature! Agricultural products such as coffee and tobacco also play a role, as do raw materials such as coal and oil. The country is considered to be business-friendly. However, one should not forget that the media reports are not made up out of thin air. Personal safety is not automatically guaranteed, and the state and government are traditionally not exactly stable. Above all, surviving here means understanding the people and the institutions – the officials and the “unofficials”. Intercultural training in Colombia from Global Cultures will help you to gain these insights. Redefining the global economy. This is why many Western European companies invest in intercultural training in Colombia.

Better understanding – acting successfully – Intercultural training Colombia

There are no standards in international business; every player is different. In order to be able to act appropriately in a foreign environment, an individually adapted form of learning is therefore required. For this reason, our practice-oriented experts with international experience have developed an innovative methodology that guarantees precisely this. Personalized, individually tailored advice replaces the transfer of bare-bones standard knowledge.
The development measures are tailored to the respective different problems and also incorporate the respective personality and emotions into the process. The process is dialog-oriented and also takes into account the participants’ own experiences in order to interactively develop meaningful strategies for action. The aim of this holistic method is not only to enable individual adjustment processes, but also to accelerate them. This enables the participants to recognize and evaluate the various alternative courses of action and ultimately select and apply the most suitable one. In short, intercultural training in Colombia increases your efficiency and that of your employees in a targeted manner and in a short space of time. This increases employee motivation and business success in Colombia.

Understanding the context – adapting behaviors

The Colombia experts from Global Cultures work with the participants to analyze their own and Colombian behavior in an intercultural context. “Funny” or “ridiculous” behaviors can thus be understood and comprehended with the knowledge of the cultural background. On this basis, foreign cultural behavior can be understood and appropriate behavior derived. At the same time, this knowledge lays the foundation for successfully adapting and moving efficiently in the Colombian market.

Global Cultures stands for practical intercultural training Colombia

Our services include a range of measures to meet all challenges. This ranges from intercultural troubleshooting and general training in preparation for stays abroad to organizational development, coaching and consulting. Many problems and misunderstandings are caused by the interaction between members of different cultures who sometimes do not even know each other personally. Intercultural training in Colombia is therefore aimed specifically at the requirements of international companies and corporations. Always in focus: practical relevance and benefits in day-to-day business.

Practical knowledge of our experts through experience abroad and work in the private sector

A university professor will be able to explain the theoretical cultural background. However, they are less likely to be able to bridge the gap between theory and everyday business requirements. This is why Global Cultures experts need several years of experience in the private sector and in the country itself. This means that they are very familiar with the daily demands of business life in Argentina and can create real added value. This means providing first-hand knowledge of the latest developments in the Colombian economy.

Lecturers with international experience from the private sector: Intercultural seminar

Our experts come from the private sector and are therefore very familiar with the requirements of day-to-day business. The basic requirement for our experts is many years of experience in business with the respective target country. Our experts for intercultural seminars either come directly from Colombia or have several years of professional intercultural experience in Colombia. Participants in our seminars can therefore benefit from direct experience from the business world. This increases the business relevance of our programs and the implementation in professional practice above average and thus guarantees excellent results for your business success through the intercultural seminar.

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. Intercultural training from Global Cultures is specially tailored to the requirements of internationally active companies and corporations. We place particular emphasis on the benefits for everyday business. Your employees learn how to deal with the other culture and can thus better respond to intercultural peculiarities.
