Scale-up Cross-Cultural Communication Competence

A program was designed to support staff and managers worldwide in developing specific skills to strengthen communication with key stakeholders.

The program was split into an overall (General) module to create sensitivity about cross-cultural differences and regional-specific programs. The target group would be exposed to the general module and subsequently focus on their specific regional demographics. 

  • General CCT
  • China
  • ASEAN (focus Vietnam, Thailand, Malaysia, Myanmar)
  • Africa (focus on South Africa, Algeria, and Morocco)
  • LATAM (focus Brazil, Columbia, Chile, Jamaica)
  • India
  • CISR (focus Ukraine, Kazakhstan, Belarus, Romania)

The content for the general and regional modules was based on the content and design templates available at Globibo.

Management of challenges

The content of Cross-Cultural Communication is always exposed to the risk of being.

  • Biased based on personal opinions and experiences
  • Risk of creating generalizations

It is vitally important that international programs like this have the local buy-in from senior managers. However, those senior managers may have a very personal view on the content. To balance the personal views of specific team members and retain a global framework, many personal discussions were needed to onboard individuals and integrate their perspectives into the final product.

Furthermore, the general content had to be contextualized in the organization’s context and the vision of the senior management team. Several videos were recorded and integrated into the content to give a personal perspective on the content.




BEST SOLUTIONS

The company created a new global corporate design guideline during the project’s implementation. The eLearning modules were the first to consistently apply the new design throughout their material.
