Practical tips for efficient intercultural collaboration

Intercultural training Kenya

Targeted, practice-oriented intercultural training in Kenya will significantly increase your efficiency in East Africa – and you will benefit from smooth project processes, effective cooperation and good negotiation results. Beautiful sandy beaches on the coast and picturesque Maasai roaming the savannah with their herds in the shadow of Mount Kilimanjaro – the cliché exists. And the harsh reality exists in equal measure. Large parts of the country were ravaged by drought and famine in 2011. The country is a producer of typical “colonial goods” such as tea, coffee and pineapples. The political situation is tense and, according to Transparency International, corruption is high. Anyone who wants to do business here rather than just lie on the beach should therefore prepare themselves intensively for Kenya and its mentalities with Global Cultures.
