Cultural Awareness And Emiratization

Training Workshop – Module Overview

Innesskirk’s innovative “Cultural Awareness And Emiratization”  will provide managers with an excellent foundation and practice on how to develop a positive organizational culture.

This workshop teaches managers to understand and adapt to cultural differences by encouraging the identification and open discussion of individual cultures. It also encourages Emirati and Middle Eastern nationals to understand common western business culture by looking at attitudes and breaking down stereotypes. Awareness is the first step toward building practical methods to work cohesively.

Tutorial sessions, case studies, practical exercises, presentations and syndicate work make this a proactive, hands-on course.
