Living Abroad :: Press Release
Dean Foster Associates and Living Abroad LLC announce the launch of the DFA CULTURE COMPASS
May 9, 2007
Today's complex global work environment requires sophisticated intercultural competencies: defined as the ability to navigate the myriad and very different work styles, expectations, behaviors and perceptions of work that different countries can have around the world. The DFA CULTURE COMPASS is a unique on-line tool that empowers you and your organization's global staff to do just that by Recognizing, Understanding and Strategizing around the intercultural requirements inherent in global work. Because these three stages are essential for the development of intercultural competencies when working across cultures, the CULTURE COMPASS consists of THREE parts, each designed to help develop each of these three competencies:
1. RECOGNIZE your own cultural position when it comes to workstyle preferences in comparison with over 90 countries around the world.
2. UNDERSTAND how and why your cultural work preferences may be different from those of colleagues in over 90 countries around the world.
3. STRATEGIZE how to navigate these differences for improved global work success.
