France – USA intercultural managementHealth

Improve human relationships and work flow between American and French teams.

Good balance between theoretical input and the experience of the trainer. This course has helped us to distinguish differences in personal behavior and other types of behavior conditioned by American culture. 
Carine M. – Manager, Regulatory Affairs

Context

Two teams of Americans and French work together on important, strategic projects for the company. Over and above the technical aspects of the projects, they must respect the different requirements imposed by the regulations of their country.
To meet these requirements and deadlines, each team has its own management methods adapted to local reality.
The two teams are very respectful of each other and get on well, but their cultural differences create a cleavage.
The manager of regulatory affairs in France wanted to create a more collaborative and consistent way of working.

At stake for
the company

Benefits
