Global team facilitation, training and coaching

Globalization is one of the primary driving forces in the current business climate. Increasingly, many individuals find themselves working and communicating with people across cultures, languages, and time zones. To be successful, employees working at this dynamic interface, need to enhance their “cultural intelligence”. This requires having the knowledge to analyze different cultural perspectives, the skills to leverage cultural differences and the cultural sensitivity to work effectively cross cultures.

Global teams have emerged as the “place where work gets done” in many multinational companies. Yet, for a variety of reasons, generating and maintaining the needed levels of performance from these teams has been difficult. In fact, most companies are finding that more than 50% of global teams fail to reach their goals, resulting in sub-optimal performance. Cunningham Consulting can turn this around. Our clients report a tremendous increase in team results.

Successful global leaders maximize the creativity and energy found at the cultural interface. They intuitively avoid many of the traps inherent in working across different communications styles, languages, and cultural backgrounds. Having a high “Cultural Competency” is also a key element of maintaining and enhancing a company’s competitive advantage in the evolving global market place.
