Foundations of Intercultural Communication
Andy Reynolds & Donna Stringer
This workshop is a sophisticated introduction to concepts of intercultural communication and their application to a wide range of professional contexts.
Diversity as Culture Change: A Strategic Approach
Anita Rowe & Donna Stringer
Gaining maximum advantage from diversity requires much more than training. Diversity can best provide a strategic advantage when it is dealt with as a long-term organizational change process. This workshop will help participants grapple with the seven steps necessary to achieve meaningful culture change and to develop a strategy for creating a culture of inclusion that is suitable and relevant to each participant's unique organization.
BONUS:
Tuesday evening of this week, July 20, EDS will be demonstrating our new training program, Diversafari.
Session III b: July 26-28, 2010Doing the Right Thing! — Values Around the World
Donna Stringer
Values have been studied by virtually every discipline in social science, including the intercultural field. Values may be stated or unstated, conscious or unconscious, subtle or overt—and they always result in behaviors that the actor believes is “right.” Rarely is the connection between a stated value and demonstrated action carefully examined. Failure to understand underlying values can negatively impact both domestic and global business interactions. This class will explore the newest cross-cultural values research followed by experiencing exercises that will allow participants to explore values from a personal, organizational, and global perspective.
