INTERCULTURAL COLLABORATION WORKSHOP

Building the cultural fluency that gets results across borders.

THE CHALLENGE

Global teams do not fail because of bad intentions. They fail because the unspoken rules of communication, decision-making, and trust differ across cultures — and no one talks about them. When leadership teams operate across national or regional borders without a shared framework, those gaps compound: misread signals, stalled decisions, and talent that never fully contributes.​

WHAT PARTICIPANTS LEAVE WITH

A precise, operational understanding of where their team sits across eight dimensions of cultural difference — and how to use that knowledge to run more effective meetings, build trust faster, and make better decisions in cross-cultural contexts.

​

Participants leave with a mapped profile of their team's actual cultural distribution, not a theoretical overview of cultural types.

WHAT THE WORKSHOP COVERS

Built around Erin Meyer's Culture Map, this workshop moves from framework to practice. Participants identify their own cultural positioning, map their team's actual profile, and work through scenarios drawn from their current organizational context.

​

Key areas:

Communication and feedback — what reads as direct, what reads as blunt, and how to calibrate across both.

Authority and decision-making — how hierarchy shapes who speaks, who decides, and who defers.

Trust-building — relationship-first versus task-first orientations, and why misaligned assumptions stall collaboration.

Disagreement and confrontation — what's read as healthy debate, what's read as personal, and how to create productive friction across cultural styles.

HOW IT WORKS

Train-the-Trainer: €4,000 — equips internal L&D or HR leads to deliver this workshop independently. Includes facilitation materials, the Culture Map licensing guidance, and a debrief session with Kelly.

 

All pricing is exclusive of VAT. Travel and accommodation charged at cost for in-person delivery outside Vienna.

WHO THIS IS FOR

Leadership teams and executive groups working across national or regional cultures — in M&A contexts, global matrix organizations, or multinational project teams. Most effective with groups of 5 or more.

"The Cross-Cultural Collaboration Workshop created exactly the awareness it set out to. Participants left with a new perspective on how differently people interpret everyday situations — and a genuine intention to be more mindful of cultural differences in their work."
