Best Practices
At 1001s.com, our cross-cultural training program provides the elements needed to succeed in an international business environment.
1. Use clearly defined training objectives.
Experience has taught us that outcomes can only be met if the objectives are understood in advance, it is vital for success to take into consideration what can realistically be accomplished in the allotted timeframe.
2. Approach training holistically.
Our cross-cultural training meets three levels: the cognitive level (knowledge about the target country's politics, history, economy and society), the behavioral level (successful communication strategies and behavioral patterns) and the emotional level (strategies to cope with your own and others' stressful cross-cultural situations).
3. Be specific.
When it comes to cross-cultural training, details matter. We focus on the precise particularities of both your industry and your target country.
4. Make the instruction come alive.
We believe training should be very interactive. By using training modules, behavioral situations, case studies, and role-playing scenarios, the information is engaging and thus, memorable.
5. Empower participants to learn more.
Our seminars always provide additional information for self-directed learning; books, literature, videos or Internet links.
