Cross-cultural working is the "new normal", but things don't always go according to plan. Usually that's because the plan doesn't adequately address the impact of cross-cultural dynamics on performance. There may be some traditional cultural training at the outset, but when cultural cracks start to appear down the line, this is when performance and engagement suffer.
It doesn't need to be that way. We know that global teams achieve amazing results when cultural issues are identified and addressed in the right way. We set out on a bold mission in 2016 to prove that 'culture clash' in the workplace isn't an inevitable headache of global working, it's an issue that can be fixed.
CAT, the industry-leading solution we designed and developed introduces a unique set of tools and techniques to deliver real, measurable results. We're innovators in the world of global team performance.
