Why
2.0? Why cross-cultural competence? This workshop introduces a
paradigm shift from ethics and
compliance programs driven by
mono-cultural corporate policy to
programs that acknowledge differing
cultural contexts, allowing for
communication and implementation
strategies that resonate in locations
worldwide.
From issues around
intellectual property to business
referrals and environmental standards,
it’s no longer as simple or easy as
“corporate policy mandates that we...”
or “common sense would dictate...” –
it’s about developing a unique skill set
that enables ethics and compliance
professionals to identify unforeseen
gray areas, approach things from a
multicultural perspective,
incorporate solutions that are both
compliant and cross-culturally
competent, challenge the status-quo,
and truly implement a next-generation
global program.
