We are delighted to announce our schedule of seminars in Europe for the second half of 2008, as below.
We have added a new seminar, Effective Multicultural Teambuilding, designed for senior managers in Japanese organisations, leaders of multicultural teams, Japanese expatriates in management roles in Europe and HR professionals and consultants working with multicultural teams. It should be of particular interest to anyone who has already attended our Working Effectively with Japanese/European Colleagues seminars and would like to take their understanding and ability to implement changes in multicultural management a step further.
We can of course offer a customised version of any of our seminars, to be held at your own offices, if you prefer. Please do not hesitate to contact us if you would like further details of this.
