Cultural Awareness Training for Global Technology
The world of global tech is complex and demanding, which means that tech teams need the ability to work collaboratively and seamlessly across cultural, language, and time zone barriers.
Build a one team mentality
Building cohesive international teams is mission-critical to most tech companies. Still, effective collaboration is not always easy when people are faced with culturally differing approaches to some of the most basic business tasks. Without building deep levels of cultural understanding, companies face ongoing frustrations and project delays.
Communicating effectively across borders is an essential building block
Effective communication is difficult; effective cross-border communication can be even more tricky. The ability to read between cross-cultural lines and effectively interpret subtlety and nuance across languages can be the difference between success and failure.
Aligning best practice across the world
Global teams need to develop cultural alignment and be able to adopt the best approaches from multiple locations if they are to achieve maximum efficiency and deliver exceptional results for their colleagues and clients.

Building a Globally Resilient Tech Workforce
In a connected world, building cultural fluency is key to creating resilient, diverse tech teams. As tech hubs shift worldwide and international talent becomes essential, understanding global cultures and skills is crucial for growth, innovation, and long-term success.
Can Building global cultural fluency improve global resilience?
Geopolitical events, pandemics and talent shortages have taught us that a resilient company needs to recruit, train and retain talent on a global scale – which means that tech teams are becoming more culturally diverse every day. We can help embed that resilience by building culturally cohesive global teams.
Why is cultural awareness training essential?
The war for talent is driving global tech companies to seek talent in every corner of the world, ensuring that teams will continue to be geographically dispersed and work across cultures and time zones. This means that developing global cultural fluency is absolutely essential. Hybrid working, culturally diverse teams, effective recruitment and retention – these will be the critical human capital drivers of the sector in the next ten years.
Isn’t tech mainly centred in a few global hubs?
Centres of tech excellence are shifting from traditional locations such as Silicon Valley, Seattle, Austin, London, and Berlin to Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Shenzhen, and Beijing – with Manila, Cairo, Cape Town, and others emerging quickly. Tech is increasingly global, so your mindset needs to be increasingly global. Every decision you make should be rooted in a deep understanding of cultural differences. Don’t get left behind.
Why are interpersonal skills more important than ever?
With the onset of AI everywhere, the need for sustainable tech and the decentralization of knowledge, tech is set for a golden future, but underpinning this future will be your people and their ability to grasp these endless global possibilities. Develop your people and equip them with the skills to work globally, and your company can harness this unprecedented potential.
