Corporate Diplomacy

In this on-demand, instant access, complex and competitive global environment in which you and your organization now work, the key to personal and business performance — now more than ever before – relies on international collaboration, team work, engaging people from a variety of backgrounds in both real and virtual ways.

Given the global nature of work and the varied cultures of business partners, clients and colleagues, long-lasting relationships may be difficult to establish and maintain.  Business endeavors are very often short-circuited by lack of insight into each individual’s definition of “appropriate” business practices, opposing mental models and filters.

Our corporate diplomacy management programs, under the umbrella Working with the World, have been created by Allyson Stewart-Allen and Lanie Denslow, world-recognized experts actively helping executives at all levels in international businesses around the world.

Whether participants encounter other business cultures when traveling the globe or at their desks via e-mails, this highly practical and relevant workshop series provides participants with current business research, practical and actionable information about themselves, and about their colleagues’ business practices and cultures.  The objective: to enable professionals to succeed in the ambiguous, unsettling and diverse international business environments in which they increasingly operate.

The program series is based on the principle that understanding the environments and contexts in which international business partners operate develops executive citizen diplomats who can operate successfully while representing their companies and their countries. 

The series helps participants recognize, respect and reconcile the business behaviors in other cultures through lenses, understand the underlying values, and be able to see how to adapt their approaches to be more successful and effective as citizen diplomats.
