It has become common practice for people from different cultures to work together, especially within the framework of projects. However, such projects all too often fail or achieve the desired results only very slowly or not at all. Instead of the expected synergy effects the results are often a breakdown in communication and conflict between the team members. In particular the pressure of the workload typical for the development and implementation phases of a project can aggravate of the problems, misunderstandings and hard feelings that often arise where different cultures overlap.
A project can never be successful under such circumstances. We will help you reap the benefits of the opportunities multinational teams have to offer and to carry out your project successfully. Our project management gives continuous support from the planning phase onwards with training courses, coaching sessions and preparatory and accompanying consultations.
If people from different cultures are to work together on a joint project successfully, many factors must be taken into consideration: different approaches to time management, communication, feedback and criticism, questions of hierarchy and leadership etc.
Participants in our training courses, coaching sessions and consultations are sensitised to culture-related perceptions, thought patterns and behaviour. They are familiarised with the types of culture-related impacts on the planning and implementation of their project they must expect. With our help they work out strategies that will enable them respond appropriately. Common areas of friction and conflict are treated and possible solutions developed.
Dealing with such topics creates confidence and intercultural misunderstandings are minimised. The strengths of the team members become apparent and the project can be led into a “win-win-situation”.
Of course we focus here on your own experience - the concept of this supportive measure is tailored to meet the needs of your individual situation. If required we give your project team continuous support from start to finish, from the selection of suitable colleagues to planning and on right through to the implementation of the project (see also Continuous support for international projects). Make use of our know-how to ensure your projects are a complete success.
