We like to share our experiences in working in Singapore and the Asian region in an open and interactive way.Working internationallyWe all work
with colleagues and clients from many different nationalities and cultural
backgrounds, in Singapore as well as in the region or globally. We work with
our head offices abroad, with project teams on site or with international teams
in the local branch office.But do we really understand each other and to what
extent are our values, structures and processes in alignment? How could we
improve our cross-cultural competencies and become truly international
professionals?Cross-cultural
competenciesA core characteristic of working across cultures is
the ability to handle different beliefs and motivations, values, working
methods and communication styles. Smooth and effective collaboration with
people from different cultures requires one to have insights into cultural
dimensions as well as well-developed cross-cultural competencies such as
empathy and flexibility. Increasingly, international companies develop tailored
culture & communication programs that enable their managers and staff to
work abroad successfully.We are looking forward to meeting with you! Lisette Davis (Regional Representative) & Simone
