INTERCULTURAL COMMUNICATION

Most organisations today are diverse, with colleagues and customers distributed around the world. This often brings innovation to the company - but may also bring challenges in interraction and implemetation.  Developing your intercultural competence helps you in building high trust relationships and effectively get the job done.
