Intercultural Project Management
Stanwick Academy

Intercultural Project Management

With increasing globalisation and the move towards virtual working, employees increasingly find themselves in international (project) teams. These international projects are not always equally successful: mutual communication and understanding are disrupted by intercultural differences, and a standardised project approach is not implemented in the same way by everyone.
In this training course, participants are sensitised to intercultural differences that may affect cooperation, but which, if well managed, may just as well strengthen it.

Approach

  • During a 1-day training, we introduce the background of cultural dimensions and the impact that cultural differences can have on collaboration.
  • The possibility exists to bring the training into 2 half-days, so that we can work on intermediate learning moments.
  • The topics are applied as a combination of theory and exercises.
  • The participants bring in real-life examples, on which further work is done. In particular, we focus on the cultures the participants themselves come into contact with. 
  • The learning experience is supported and enhanced by the use of an online learning platform.
  • A training certificate can be provided.

Testimonials

"The approach Stanwick developed for implementing Performance Management is practical, powerful, realistic and very respectful of what lives on the shop floor. Collaboration, between teams and people, during and after implementation are central and secure sustainable practices that drive continuous improvement!"

Participant

"Stanwick's strength is that they also thoroughly work out the "behavioural component" of projects. You notice this not only in the content of the training, but also in the cooperation. The trainers we work with know very well how to sense exactly what the client needs and when. Once the needs are clear, they create a tailor-made and appropriate training. The special rapport with us as customers, creates a partnership for the future. The origin story of "LEAN" around those aircraft, can still fascinate and retell everyone who was in the training."

Participant

"If statistics were explained in the same practical way in our school study, more people would deal with data more professionally."
"A course that I hated at the university suddenly becomes a passion and my most important tool for process improvement."
"Unbelievable how ignorant and clumsy we dealt with data before this training."
"It is unbelievable how we can better understand and make our process easier to understand with a very limited number of tests (Design of Experiments)."
"The pallet of tools provided now allows us to find the causes and find solutions for practically all problems."
"The tools provided in the Green Belt are now also much clearer to us."
"The importance of statistical process control is seriously underestimated and it is not understandable that it will no longer be applied."

Participant

"Interesting content brought in an interactive way. Good exercises."
"Very interactive course, with also interaction between the different participants of the training. Challenging us with the exercises gave me an extra incentive to do well."
"I learned a lot to work with effectively."
"Good energy, well explained, trainer really fun and professional. really good balance between seriousness and fun. The way the training went was perfect. Really good way to respect our "flow". She was very flexible and adapted the training to the audience, which is not easy."
"Thanks to the training, I can now use tools to make my workload/time more efficient."

Participant

"Strong interaction with own examples from the group."
"One of the better trainings that I have already attended. Concrete and useful tips."
"Very interesting training as a capstone for tackling projects."
"I am very happy that I took the course because it really adds value to my ongoing projects."
"Theory becomes very practical by working with actual projects."

“Within our organisation we are convinced that the principles of Lean Manufacturing and Continuous Improvement form the basis to understand and tackle performance losses. To be able to translate this conviction into practical improvement projects, we turned to Stanwick because they were able to provide training specifically tailored to our business. For each element of a Lean Production System, Stanwick could provide very concrete and recognisable examples to clarify the theory. As a result, 8 participants from different departments, with new insights and a lot of enthusiasm, have successfully completed a Lean Green Belt Project. During this training and during the implementation of the projects, the participants were forced to look in a different way at the organisation and processes within their specific department and the link to other departments. We now see a close team that has become stronger in recognising losses and in identifying flows within manufacturing. Through this approach, improvements have been made to processes that would otherwise not have been questioned. We can therefore demonstrate that this training has more than exceeded the investment. It is now up to us to make this improvement culture grow further in our company."

"After an introductory game to immerse everyone in the Obeya mindset and the working groups setting the right KPIs, we were ready to really get started. Obeya has since been rolled out at various levels across almost the entire organisation and we clearly see the added value."
