CultureSmart!Consulting

the smarter approach to culture!

RLN- CS!C are proud to collaborate with RLN (the Regional Language Network) on their new "International Business" & "Migrant Worker" podcasts. Featuring our CEO, David Solomons and CS!C lead consultants, the audio files give the listener an inside guide into the business etiquette and culture of various countries and will be available to download in September from: www.rln-eastmidlands.com/podcasts/default.aspx

DIVERSITY- Alongside our Intercultural training, we also provide our clients with Diversity training, delivering practical behavioural tools that are as relevant for diversity as for intercultural trainings. It is now a government prerequisite to address these issues and our unique, simple and powerful modules deal with diversity issues in a similar way to intercultural competence. Diversity skills confront similar problems within the workplace.

TRAIN THE TRAINER- Our team are also currently developing "Train the Trainer" programmes for a number of MBCs, empowering their trainers to transfer selected CS!C modules.

RANDOM HOUSE- A successful collaboration with Random House sees them become the official distributors of our CultureSmart! guides in North America. The CultureSmart! guide series now has over 50 countries, religions and ethnic groups in its range...and rising!

CORPORATE MERGERS & ACQUISITIONS- With the increase in global mergers and acquisitions, there is an increasing need for change management, where corporates need to understand each others’ diverse cultural characteristics for a more harmonious and productive transition. Ask us about our bespoke services to address this issue!

THE COST OF CULTURAL DIFFERENCE- There isnt a better justification for a minimal investment in cross-cultural understanding and international management skills than the recent example of the sale by Daimler of its Chrysler division, at a loss of $27.5 billion in just nine years! "The cultural differences were a big contributing factor to the difficulties" (FT 15th May 2007). Don't ignore your organisation's need for inter-cultural skills in your management training policies.

We look forward to hearing your training needs and enquiries on +44 (0)20 8446 2440 newsletter@culturesmartconsulting.com

Yours,

THE CULTURESMART!CONSULTING Team
