In today’s ever-shrinking world, multiculturalism and globalization are concepts which impact all of us – from multi-national corporations, small business, non-profits, and governments to associations, hospitals, and local school systems. It’s clear that understanding how to communicate across cultures has become more critical than ever.

Working with India is designed to help you appreciate and then leverage culture’s impact on doing business with India. We enable you to collaborate more fruitfully across borders to develop a foundation for achieving common goals while building respect and mutual understanding. More importantly, we help ensure sustained success as you interact and communicate with your Indian colleagues.

Who Should Attend?

• US-based teams
• Human Resource professionals
• Department Managers
• Sales and Marketing Executives/Relationship Managers
• Professionals and teams that work virtually with India
• Traveling SMEs

Key Topics:

• Trends and traditions shaping the diversity of India today
• Effective virtual relationship-building strategies
• Frameworks for navigating cultural challenges
• American and Indian decision-making styles
• Business acumen for working with your Indian counterparts

Preparation: Participants are asked to bring real-life issues they have been experiencing when working and communicating with their Indian colleagues.

Benefits/Outcomes: Participants will come away with a deeper understanding of U.S. and Indian cultures and the tools needed to work more effectively, both virtually and in-person, with their Indian colleagues and the skills to navigate those differences in a business context.

Methodology: A business driven approach involving expert led discussion, small-group work and interactive activities.
