Steps hosts breakfast seminar

A breakfast seminar that aims to show how organisations can improve cross-cultural communication and harness the diversity of their employees is to be held in London on 29 April 2008.

Called 'Cultural Intelligence: Making cultural difference an advantage, not a problem', the seminar has been organised by drama-based learning company Steps Drama.

Steps says the seminar will combine presentations, advice and live action drama sequences to introduce the concept of 'cultural intelligence' and to show how it can be applied to improve cultural perception and to resolve cross-cultural friction points.

The seminar is aimed at managers and HR practitioners in multinational organisations and will be co-led by Richard Wilkes, director of Steps Drama.

He said: "Understanding the impact of an individual's experience and cultural background on their behaviour is essential for success in multinational organisations. Differences exist in work practices, preferences and cultural norms. This engaging and thought-provoking seminar is designed to show how, in an increasingly global and diverse workplace, a better understanding of cultural heritage and values can help organisations to harness the power of cultural diversity."

'Cultural Intelligence: Making cultural difference an advantage, not a problem' will run from 8.00-10.00am on Tuesday 29 April 2008 at the City of London Club, 19 Old Broad Street, London, EC2N 1DS.
