How American Norms and Values Impact Relationships in the Global Marketplace

 

Around the world, revenues are increasingly dependent on international transactions and for many American leaders, geographic isolation has resulted in limited global awareness. As a result, many American executives are embracing cultural education programs in an effort to bridge the gap and move down the cross-cultural education curve.  Cross-cultural education's ROI is increasingly evident ~ revenue leaps, increased market share, and strong employment brand recognition.

 

Nobody gets a second chance at a first impression and American leaders come under particular scrutiny.  When approaching diverse groups, as evidenced in the New York Times, the ability to understand and relate to cross-cultural norms is essential for effective interaction.  Cross-cultural education can empower American leaders to intelligently and confidently interact, which will be particularly advantageous in emerging markets.  Get on board ~ cultural knowledge and expansion is a critical value-add.  Unfortunately, even one seemingly minor error, such as a misunderstood comment or inappropriate gesture, can sabotage trust, tarnish credibility and even destroy a lucrative relationship.  

 

This program will help American leaders:

 

  • Establish the link between cultural priorities, behavior and expectations
  • Analyze the relationship between social values and cultural perceptions
  • Self ~evaluate personal levels of ethnocentric attitudes and how to modify actions
  • Identify culturally accepted subjects, topics to avoid and interaction tips

How to Establish Industry Leading Standards through Cross-Cultural Focus Groups

 

It's no secret.  Focus groups foster participation, innovation and productivity.  Group dynamics also tend to boost morale and create stronger teams.  But the International Association for Contract and Communicative Management acknowledges the value of specialty focus groups.  In particular, the organization highlights the ability to respectfully and effectively facilitate cross-cultural focus groups as an essential element for developing best-in-class service standards.

Look to the experts ~ our facilitation is a perfect fit.  The WeAre1 program, designed by Globally Hip founders, is a patented six-step model designed to solicit and value quality input from diverse focus groups.
