Cultural diversity can be a major challenge. Whether working globally or locally, most organizations span more than one cultural context. Successful management of diversity has become a strategic competence. A competence that helps you lead, teach, coach and manage your teams and relationships effectively – and successfully. This master class takes you from reflecting on your own values and assumptions to understanding those of others. It will make you understand how to turn cultural diversity into an asset.

 

An itim executive master class is the result of more than fifty years of academic work of Prof. Dr. Geert Hofstede, one of world’s most cited researchers. Over seventy itim experts, with diverse cultural and professional backgrounds, are available to conduct these master classes, to take you from an international presence to true global effectiveness.
