Program structure
Module 1: 7 Dimensions of Culture
The 7 Dimensions of Culture can help you to work more effectively with people from different cultures. Business is becoming ever more global, and as a result of this, teams are becoming more diverse. Thus, we are likely to need to work with people from other countries and cultures. Most of the time things will go well when you work with people from other cultures. But when things don’t, and misunderstandings arise, Trompenaars' Cultural Dimensions model can help by supporting your Culture and Business challenges, by making them real with case studies through simplicity. Recognize and Respect.
Licensed to use the Intercultural Awareness Profiler after this module.
In this course you will learn how to:
- Recognize and Respect cultural differences;
- Use the diagnostic skills to measure and use the Intercultural Awareness Profiler (IAP) and the Culture for Business app (C4B).
Module 2: Organizational Culture
Trompenaars created his 7 Dimensions of Culture with four culture types in organizations.
Culture is the main driver of organizational performance. For a company to be successful, its senior leaders have to create a culture, or an environment, which enables people to perform.
Larry Greiner has shown that organizations go through stages. The process of change is an enriching process by reconciling the often contradicting values of the previous stage. This module will introduce the value dilemmas that need attention, approaches and applications. For example, if the strength is Technology Push, we need to reconcile it with Market Pull, rather than replacing one with the other. Organizations need to become integral - this is the only way to get sustainable results, and this module will support this process.

Module 3: Dilemma Reconciliation
Reconciliation rather than compromise is the essence – by translating values into behaviors.
There are so many changes happening in our current times that are linked to the introduction of ever more powerful digital tools and machines. Our focus is often technical and there is not so much attention devoted to the human and cultural side of digitalization. Diversity of diversity has led to dilemma management: dilemmas are shared amongst all human beings but reconciliation approaches are culturally defined. Reconciliation, rather than choosing one of the two desired states, leads to more sustainable results for the global community.
This module introduces approaches and applications for dilemma reconciliation and discusses any variations between the cultural value norms and the reactions of the business and its rooting. Reconcile and Realise.
Towards being licensed to use the following tools in collaboration with Trompenaars Hampden-Turner:
- Dilemma Scan
