Building bridges across cultures
Unlock the power of cultural diversity to create competitive advantage
More detailed information
Culture eats strategy for breakfast.
This well-known business phrase speaks to the fact that it's culture that truly shapes business decisions, behaviours and outcomes. Plans, processes and performance metrics all come second.
Why? Because culture influences how we communicate, lead, collaborate, make decisions, define success and more - often without us realising it. And in today's globalised and multicultural business world, being able to understand and harness cultural diversity is no longer a 'nice to have'; it's a core business skill that we all need to have.
In this thought-provoking and lively keynote, culture specialist Tamara Makoni lifts the lid on cultural diversity and demystifies the hidden forces that drive human behaviour at work. Also, how to bridge cultural gaps before they become costly misunderstandings.
You can expect:
Engaging stories and relatable examples
Fresh insights and a shared language for talking about culture
Practical strategies you can immediately apply
