Methods

There are two delivery options for this programme:

• Classroom (½, 1, 2 or 3 day): Participants complete the Country Navigator Worldprism Profiler questionnaire as pre-work.  This is followed by a classroom session in which participants are taken through the concepts and skills outlined above in order to expand their knowledge of cross-cultural leadership and virtual teamwork in a global context. The program is high impact, experiential and challenging. All participants have continuing access to the Country Navigator e-learning and country comparison resources following the programme.

• Virtual Classroom (4 hours): Participants complete the same pre-work as for the face-to-face session. This is followed by attending a virtual classroom session in which participants explore the key concepts and skills outlined above, pose questions to the facilitator, complete ‘breakout room’ exercises, and collaborate on the online whiteboard. Due to the length and nature of the virtual classroom format, some of the group activities described above are replaced by ‘virtual’ versions. As above, all participants have continuing access to the Country Navigator following the programme.
