Business culture intelligence
|
Fluency in foreign cultures requires confidence, the ability to build relationships and the capacity to negotiate effectively. European and US business cultures have different expectations from bosses, colleagues and clients, so appreciating and operating comfortably in new or different settings makes the difference between business success and failure. Your ability to apply a global mindset in these situations determines whether you land a successful international deal or make an apologetic withdrawal.

“Allyson Stewart-Allen has provided my team with some excellent insight into the cultural differences between British and American business, both at an individual and at an organisational level. To recognise that these differences do exist, and why they exist, has had a very positive impact on the way we now engage with our US colleagues.“
