NEW! 'Bridging the Gaps' is not about stereotyped cultural information. Instead it provides an understanding of both macro and micro cultural differences and the capabilities to manage such differences.
This learning programme is the first of its kind to be produced in China by a multi-cultural Production and Learning & Development team. It took two years of extensive research and development in China.
The complete series consists of 6 parts, extensive support material including Trainers Guide, Participant Reference Guide & Notebook, and PowerPoint Presentation. Because the learning points are clearly illustrated and reinforced so clearly means that any competent facilitator - provided they are familiar with the content - can deliver this programme, rather than requiring a trainer experienced in Chinese business practices and well versed in Chinese society and business behaviour.
Through high quality dramatic video and extensive support materials, the ongoing story is based around the 180-day journey of Paul Edward, an American senior manager, sent to work in Beijing by his head office. It is Paul's first posting to China.
It depicts his interactions with Chinese suppliers, clients, and his own colleagues.
Bridging the Gaps focuses on promoting interpersonal commonality, rather than highlighting and excusing cultural differences as a reason for dysfunction and breakdowns
