itim-group road show
Throughout 2008/2009 we will be holding road show events. These events are designed to meet different companies in several countries around the world. The itim road show event takes the form of a one hour free seminar which outlines the key importance of culture at 3 levels: national, organisational and individual. Each seminar is open to all companies and will be presented by highly skilled and experienced itim consultants who provide the attendees with advice and resources to use global diversity to increase their competitive edge. Furthermore, the road show events serve as a great opportunity for companies as a networking means to exchange ideas, information, and services amongst different organizations.
Please join us at any of the following road show events. More dates and locations will soon be launched!

itim Intercultural Management Open Courses
Our Open Courses on Intercultural Management are general intercultural management courses that explore the impact of culture on human interaction. Itim offers these courses a few times per year in different countries. The courses give participants insight into their own culturally based assumptions and behaviour as well as those of other cultures. We focus on practical subjects such as negotiations, meetings, communication, planning, management and leadership, which are affected by cultural differences. Participants from different companies will be able to share experiences and learn from each other. This is also a great opportunity for networking.
Our open courses are open for registration to all companies and individuals who need to increase their knowledge on intercultural understanding and behaviour issues. Please contact the person in charge of the course (mentioned after the course date) for more information about the course fee, content and registration.
