Cross Cultural Teamwork Across Cultures that Works

“LSA delivered a great session on cross cultural teamwork across cultures and distance for our team. Most of us have several years’ experience globally, but we all still learned something new and valuable. Our team loved the session and the facilitator. We started using some of the virtual tools and tips immediately.”
Rosalind Stephenson | Senior Manager, Global People and Culture | Grant Thornton International Ltd

Description
In spite of efforts to thoughtfully manage differences in time zones, cultures, and languages, global teams often fail to perform at their peak. Global teams members report unclear and misaligned team goals, roles, norms, practices, and expectations which are all exacerbated by cultural differences.

Cross Cultural Teamwork Across Cultures training is designed to strengthen global team skills in a diverse cultural environment. Diverse teams with members coming from many different countries and backgrounds learn how to:

Work together effectively
Communicate
Share ideas
Handle conflict
Integrate cultural influences and differing perspectives

In this interactive Teamwork Across Cultures program, participants will learn and model best practices for creating and sustaining an effective, innovative, and diverse team.

This teamwork across cultures program can be customized for manufacturing, engineering and other specific departments so that your global teams can:

Take an active role in their team’s success
Know how to create an effective team with diverse members
Define roles and responsibilities
Problem solve using techniques which work with all cultures
Strengthen commitment and build rapport across cultures

Target Audience:
Anyone working on a diverse team with members coming from many different countries and backgrounds.

The LSA customized Organizational Alignment Survey gave us a comprehensive view of how our employees experience our culture, talent and strategy. Equally important, the survey and implementation process goes well beyond the typical engagement survey. The systemic approach provided us with a great forum to discuss the strengths and opportunities in our organization, and then to quickly get focused on the key actions critical to executing our business and people strategies.

Originally, we launched a RFP to partner with a sales training provider to improve the sales skills of our global distributor network. LSA Global challenged our thinking by suggesting we focus on the systemic strategy, culture and talent factors that create sales success before we invested in the more symptomatic needs of sales skills and knowledge. LSA Global identified the two strategic actions to improve overall sales performance and then designed and delivered world class sales training across the globe to help increase revenue and margin. I’m so happy we took a more strategic approach to sales performance.

The facilitator was extremely knowledgeable about Working Globally with India and her energy and passion made the session interesting, fun, and enjoyable for all that attended. The participants walked away extremely pleased along with highly useful practices and tools. I would highly recommend LSA Global to any company that has partners or offices in India.

It was a challenge to find a consultant with an approach to performance improvement that fit our unique culture and style. We were pleasantly surprised to discover LSA’s depth of expertise in the fields of motivation, developmental coaching, performance management, and measurement.

LSA seamlessly integrated those components without our folks feeling like the intervention was forced. They understood what we were trying to accomplish, helped us clarify our objectives, and created a solid, refreshing approach that quickly got us moving and engaged at all levels across the organization. Overall, I couldn’t be happier that we found a true strategy and implementation partner in LSA.
