Over 15 years experience of language, cross-cultural management and communication training, gave A V A N C E the opportunity to develop an expert approach of challenges met by companies working in an international environment. It is quite human to want to be understood before understanding the other. In fact, when conducting activities in international business, the other way around is of paramount importance! In order to reach a better understanding of your foreign stakeholders, we provide you with training, workshops and consultancy with two aims: First, to increase your knowledge about your own culture, and examine it from the viewpoint of the cultural environment of the other. We mean here by culture behaviours, values, and unconscious assumptions. This enables you to review the differences, and consider the advantages and disadvantages that ensue for the specific management of your project. Second, we propose to check your intercultural competencies, and to investigate with you how to improve and strengthen them in order to improve the aimed partnership. This enables a confident and efficient approach of your project, in terms of human investment. Case studies will complete your training, eventually focusing on your personal challenges, putting the learned knowledge en competences into practice in order to improve intercultural skills and revise former attitudes in challenge solving. This will enable a serene and innovative look at the new opportunities to come across in your international activities. We are bound through our deontology to professional secrecy at all levels of communication with your company. We would be glad to answer all your questions, don't hesitate to contact us.
