Global teams - avoid culture clash and achieve high performance

13 Nov 2024
Seminar Theatre 16

Global teams are increasingly the norm, thanks to tech advances and the Pandemic driving new ways of working. While this
presents benefits, it also presents new challenges. In this seminar we examine the impact on productivity and engagement
levels when people from different national cultures are working together. It’s a taboo subject; the elephant in the room. For
instance, for those navigating cultural gaps on a daily basis this often means dealing with false assumptions and poor
communication, which then leads to negative stereotyping and a breakdown in trust, impacting productivity and the
bottom line. In an ever-shrinking commercial world, it’s important to understand the impact of culture on global team performance.
Why it occurs, how to avoid it altogether, and when it’s present, how to address it to optimise performance.
So what’s the best way to tackle culture gaps? CAT (Cultural Alignment Transformation), a performance improvement
programme designed to optimise global team performance and deliver proven, measurable before and after results.
Join us as we share examples from research we’ve carried out with Tech teams operating across the US, EU, UK and India,
including with Tier 1 global banks. We uncover some of the main challenges we’ve observed and how we address them.
Join us as we take a deep dive into typical clashes that occur in an East-meets-West global team dynamic as we bring to life
our approach to global team performance for new and existing global teams. It’s not you, it’s not them. It’s culture!
