Successful business strategies don’t always translate when you conduct business abroad. Your negotiating strategies may strike the wrong chord, or your polished business etiquette, which served you well in your own culture, may be interpreted as rude. When you recognise and respect cultural differences, you show you are serious about doing business in a global society.

Course Objective:

You will communicate and conduct business effectively across cultures.

Target Audience:

This course is for individuals who need to communicate clearly and effectively while conducting business in cultures other than their own.

Delivery Method:

Instructor led, group-paced, classroom-delivery learning model with structured hands-on activities. This course includes a variety of insightful scenarios and case studies involving specific cultures such as Japan, and Indonesia. Specific examples of cultural awareness and sensitivities will be included into course depending on the main nationalities of interest for each client.

In-House Training - We’ll focus on what matters most to you and tailor to your context


Face-to-Face, Live Online, or Hybrid Class Tailored to Your Needs

When you want a tailored learning experience targeting exactly what you want without bringing everyone physically together, the best choice is a Live Online Class run by PDT.

We tailor the content and activities to be specific to your current needs and the needs of the people and run the course in our usual activity-based workshop style training, however, the participants can all be offsite, or some can be in the room with others offsite.

Unless you have a preferred tools we use 'Zoom for Education' that includes enhanced collaboration features such as One-click content sharing, real-time co-annotation (people can work together in activity files), and digital whiteboarding, we also include things like live polls and group chats so you virtually have the same collaborative learning experience of attending a course in a room with other people.

live online & hybrid

We have delivered these 100's (if not 1000's) of times, and get great outcomes. We achieve great outcomes because we keep our learner centric approach - just because it’s delivered through a screen to some or all participants doesn’t mean it needs to be less tailored or less personalised.

You still have an expert trainer who talks to you prior to the session and tailors the delivery to use your terminology, ensure activities are relevant and directly applicable and ensures an engaging learning experience that provide people with skills and techniques they can apply the very next day.

A hybrid class is with some people connecting online, and some people physically together in the same room.
