Decode cultural differences and deliver successful international projects.

In this immersive 5‑day programme, you will learn to navigate cultural diversity in project teams through proven models, interactive simulations, and real‑life case studies. By mastering cultural intelligence, communication styles, and team dynamics, you’ll lead confidently and drive performance across varied cultural contexts.

 Why this course is important

• Globalised project environments are the norm—understanding cultural differences in communication, hierarchy, and decision-making is critical.

• Avoiding cultural missteps can save significant time, cost, and stakeholder trust. Misaligned communication leads to budget overruns and lowered morale.

• Enhancing team cohesion and delivery: culturally-aware project leadership boosts collaboration, creativity, and outcomes.

 Who should attend

• Project managers, programme directors, and PMO leads working with international or multicultural teams

• Technical specialists, change managers, and business analysts operating across diverse cultural groups

• HR, OD, and learning professionals implementing cross-cultural initiatives and training

• Consultants and delivery leads managing remote or hybrid team models

 What you will learn

• Intercultural frameworks: master Hofstede, Trompenaars, and Lewis to understand cultural dimensions

• Communication dynamics: distinguish high‑ vs low‑context styles and adapt email, verbal, and meeting formats accordingly

• Decision-making and feedback styles: recognize cultural preferences in hierarchy, consensus, and critique

• Trust-building strategies: engage stakeholders with culturally attuned rapport mechanisms

• Conflict resolution techniques: apply culturally sensitive methods to de‑escalate misunderstandings

• Project rituals design: tailor kick-offs, stand‑ups, reviews, and governance to diverse cultural norms

• Virtual team mastery: overcome timezone, etiquette, language, and technology barriers

• Scenario-based simulations: engage in role-plays reflecting real-world cultural challenges and peer debriefs
