Building Intercultural Teams
Irish and European businesses currently employ staff from around 188 countries in the world speaking 167 languages. While often the most effective way to exchange information globally and gain competitive advantage, cross-cultural teams and structures also present risks for managers and participants in global teams.
Managing Diversity
Over the past decades Irish and European business has experienced greater participation of women, minorities, migrants, the elderly and different nationalities in the workforce. Gradually a changing composition of the workforce up into the highest management levels is becoming apparent.
Working Internationally
Organizations in the global economy require cultural competence to respond to the challenge of leading in a culturally diverse environment. It is more important than ever to be aware of difference and understand how to leverage it for effective performance.

Consultancy
Peter Block, author of Flawless Consulting, describes three main roles that an effective consultant should play:
- as “a pair of hands,” a consultant can do tasks that a client organization knows how to do itself, but does not have the staff to accomplish;
- In the “expert” role, a consultant provides knowledge or skills that the organization does not have in-house;
- In the “collaborative” role, the consultant works as a partner with the organization, contributing process knowledge, but leaving the rest to the client, who has the task expertise and staff to accomplish tasks once the approach is determined.
Culturewise consultancy offers a combination of all three roles with the emphasis on the collaborative role. Consultant’s assistance in designing and managing
- Strategic Planning
- Development of Policies & Procedures
- Analysis & Evaluation of Programmes
- Capacity Building within Organisation
will help focus energy where it is most needed and preclude wasting time reinventing the wheel.
Sometimes it takes an outsider to ask the hard or dumb questions, and a skilled facilitator will help surface disagreements about important issues, as well as manage potential conflicts in a constructive way.
Culturewise consultancy is cost effective and offers long term solutions through a proven process.
