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.

Target Audience:

  • Global Ethics & Compliance Officers

  • Local Ethics/Compliance Representatives

  • Investigators, Audit and Risk Managers
  • Information officers and Communication Specialists
  • Legal Teams & General Counsel
  • Human Resource Managers
  • People & Relationship Managers

  • Business Leaders

Key Topics:

  • Explore tensions and synergies between national cultural contexts and global business ethics

  • Overlay 9 national culture values lenses, a global business ethics lens, and the organization’s core values

  • Clarify participants’ own cultural contexts as it relates to global business ethics

  • Identify frameworks for navigating ethical challenges related to differing local cultures and contexts

In-House Workshops: Customizations are tailored to suit...

  • The regions of the world on which your group would like to focus

  • Roles of the participating compliance and ethics program leaders and managers

  • Their goals for exploring cultural blind spots and biases in their program roles

  • The program aspects for embedding cross-cultural competence, i.e. investigations and risk management; training, communications and program planning. We will also work with your organization to adapt existing critical incidents or develop new ones that best suit your organization.

  • Your time requirements. 4-hours to 8-hours, depending on the number of critical incidents and scope of action planning or adaptations to your program. A 90-minute webinar is also available to introduce the approach of a cross-culturally competent ethics and compliance program, as is the option of dividing the workshop into modules over multiple days.

Benefits/Outcomes: Participants will...

  • Develop a greater and, in many cases, new understanding around how policies will play out and be seen in different national cultural contexts by well-meaning and conscientious employees,

  • Become more creative, empathetic, and effective in elaborating ethics and compliance messages for a global audience, and

  • Achieve greater insight regarding culture's impact on investigations and program planning in cross-national and cross-cultural scenarios.

    Methodology:
    Interactive case study resolution and action planning are key components of this classroom-based workshop. A web-based facilitator-led version of this workshop is also available using the Adobe® Acrobat® Connect™ platform, allowing for interactivity that parallels the classroom version.
