Cultural coaching and training sessions, workshops and lectures

Cross culture business training sessions are tailored to meet the requirements of teams of people or individuals within a company, who are in frequent touch with Chinese counterparts, colleagues or clients. Training sessions are dedicated to analysing, unraveling and solving hurdles, particularly in the field of internal communication.  The goal is to realise greater understanding of the driving forces behind ‘Chinese Thinking’.

With deeper understanding can one start to build a better framework around the why’s and what’s behind the Chinese way of doing things (even though there is not simply one homogenous style!).  ChinaMoves training sessions will include clear  ideas about how to improve effective communication with your Chinese partner, in which your own experiences will take the lead.

Training ingredients will comprise:

  • decision processes
  • the role of hierarchy in a Chinese setting
  • importance of guanxi or relationship building and maintenance, both internally and externally
  • merit or counter-productivity of directness and indirectness
  • origins of ‘us’ and ‘them’ thinking
  • the role of brainstorm sessions
  • management of reciprocal expectations
  • business ethics and protocol

For whom?

These training sessions are useful for blue chip businesses, SME’s, Chambers of Commerce eg Bencham China, government and management training institutes like Akteos.
