Intercultural Development

for INDIA-BASED CORPORATES


Do you have challenges working with other cultures, such as the US or the UK? Are you interested in exploring ways to develop your organisation’s global savvy? Do you need to introduce competencies in your organisation, for doing business with other world regions? If your answer to any of these questions is ‘Yes’, then we encourage you to consider what LCW can do for you.


What is cross-cultural competency in the Indian context? Is it critical?

In the past few years, more and more Indian companies have sought means to promote competency to improve business practices and gain competitive advantage across organisational, geographical, cultural, and linguistic boundaries. In corporate contexts—cross-cultural competency can be defined as the ability to take into account one’s own and other’s worldviews in order to make decisions, solve problems, and resolve conflicts in ways that optimize differences in order to produce better, more creative, and longer-lasting solutions.

More than awareness training, accent neutralization, or learning a list of what “to do or not do” in a given culture—this competency is about skill-building in areas that are tied to and supportive of an organisation’s business case for working cross-culturally. More and more, there are psychometric instruments and a growing body of best practices that companies in India can draw from as they grow their measurable, replicable competencies in this area.

LCW offers for Indian corporates include:

 

• Global Team and Project Management Workshops: Cross-cultural programs to improve performance, productivity, and client satisifaction (internal and external.)

• Intercultural Executive Coaching: Psychometric assessments coupled with one-on-one sessions designed to support those in key positions, where intercultural competency is critical to achieving business requirements.
