Developing A Global Mindset Without Leaving Your Desk - Webinar By Trainhr
Overview : Because we have profound confirmation of the impacts of globalization
on our US business environment in recent responses of our stock markets to events and financial situations all the way around the world, it is important for us to be as knowledgably as we can be about how the economy work, how different countries work and how we can work with them.
It is highly unlikely that we personally or through our companies will be able to travel to every country or possible destination to learn as much as we can about how conduct business there successfully, so we have to look for other avenues of education. In many ways we are enriched by the availability of technology and in this case it is one of the primary tools we can use to explore and learn about so many things outside our everyday frame of reference.
However, to be as purposeful as we need to be in making the learning valuable to us and retaining what we learn, we need to have a plan of action that leverages our learning styles and allows us the opportunity to retain as much of our learning experience as possible. We also must be able to identify and validate the information we glean from our research and study efforts so that we can build as dynamic and comprehensive understanding as we are able. In our program we will review the term Global Mindset so that we have a common understanding of the term and focus of our discussion. We will look at what it is that we want and need to know as we move into other countries to do business or to work in partnership. We will identify some of the key reasons that spending the time to learn about other cultures is important to us, regardless of our particular business. We will explore opportunities to know more about the way we learn and how that impacts the way we study and learn. We will identify the issues around learning styles and ways to be sure that our efforts to learn are fruitful. We will discuss how to validate our learnings and discuss resources available for enhancing our perspectives. We will conclude with our discussion by discussing the methodology for building an action plan that will support us on our pathway to learning.
The key to successful learning is in our intent and the purposefulness with which we approach the process. Identifying the countries that are likely destinations or points of interest are critical. It is one thing to be looking at the country as a vacation destination, but doing business successfully there or interacting successfully in the business environment requires a very different understanding and approach. Our session will elaborate on some of the technologically available resources and how useful they are. We will look at the benefit of multiple resources and data gathering efforts to create a more comprehensive overview. We will discuss methodologies for testing our learning and validating our perspectives and understanding. We will explore opportunities to enhance learning through interactions and networking via linked in and other social and professional networking tools.
Why should you attend : Being a part of todays business environment, every family and every business is somehow called on to interact with business environments outside the US. Even our television shows these days are featuring characters from other cultures who during the course of the programs, are sharing some insights into their culture and perspectives. That is all helpful, but we cant believe EVERYTHING we see on TV, especially on the dramas or sitcoms that are so popular. On some of the reality shows, like Amazing Race, we do get introduced to brief snippets of culture as the team battle for their $1,000,000. And we benefit by being able to learn a little more than we did before, but not nearly enough to help us do business! There are significant costs associated with doing business globally or interacting globally, not the least of which is attached to the value of our time! Being sure that we are able to be as knowledgably as possible before we begin our interaction is sure to save us time, energy and ultimately money.
It is not likely that we will be able to live in a country, or even visit briefly to be able to inquire about the culture and the nuances that are important to successful interactions and business success. However, with the world at our fingertips these days, there is a lot we can learn if we are purposeful in our approach and if we use the world wide web to support our efforts. We can minimally become more comfortable personally with some facts about our destination country and we can leverage our learning to help others in our organization, family and community to be more effective approaching other countries for service or sales!
