Talks & Workshops:
When vikings – and values – clash
Lectures and workshops for companies and organisations working across national borders – that also want to cooperate. For 10 to 1000 participants. And customised to suit your everyday reality.

- Why is attending the Christmas party part of your job description?
Business cultures, leadership and mangament style are closely connected to cultural values and habits and working or being a leader in Copenhagen, Cologne, Chicago or Chengdu is certainly not the same.
This course on collaborating with colleagues from all over the world will – with a Nordic perspectice – introduce you to: leadership and mangement styles, navigating the business culture, & dos & don’ts, habits and core values, everyday and professional life.
