When working together with business partners or colleagues from other cultures, one often gets the feeling - although difficult to pinpoint - that they are acting slightly inappropriately, irrationally, ineffectively or uncooperatively. Not surprisingly, your behaviour is creating the same impression to your foreign colleagues. Behaviour which is situationally appropriate in one culture can easily trigger feelings of irritation and mistrust in another, thus creating an invisible and often insurmountable hurdle to the success of any joint project.

The "Many Cultures - One Team" training programme is designed to

• foster the understanding of difference
• discover the potential of all team members
• develop strategies for effective cooperation
