Help your team understand their current intercultural competence and their shared and collective journeys. Prior to this workshop, your team will complete the Intercultural Development Inventory. As a team, you will learn your comprehensive intercultural competence scores and commitments you can make to increase collective competence. Individual members may also engage in 1-1 debrief for their individual profile and progress plan.

Participants will:

Understand intercultural competence and its relevance for their work.

Locate the team’s level of intercultural competence and its connection to current work dynamics.

Identify and generate collaborative steps for reaching the team’s aspirational level of intercultural competence.

Locate their own level of intercultural competence and their aspirational level of intercultural competence.

Generate a plan for achieving their own aspirational level of intercultural competence.

Together, your team will explore your own position on a continuum of cross-cultural orientations. This workshop will help your team assess how members’ orientations to key elements of culture affect your communication and collaboration.

Participants will:
Understand their own position on a cross-cultural continuum of behaviors.

Assess their cultural positioning in relation to the rest of the team.

Apply that knowledge to specific norms and dynamics of the team.

Develop a shared framework for effective cultural norms that include team members’ individual identities.

Using the Thomas-Kilmann Conflict Styles Inventory, members of your team will receive insights about their individual preferred conflict styles. Your team will explore all five conflict styles to gain a better understanding of what each style is, when it’s effective, and when it’s ineffective. Then, we will map your entire team’s conflict style to better understand the challenges and strengths your team can bring to effective conflict management.

Participants will:

Understand conflict as a resource the team can leverage for increased success.

Differentiate between five different conflict styles.

Analyze their individual preferred conflict styles for strengths and challenges.

Construct a team conflict styles approach and apply it to a team goal or challenge.
