          Objectives:   The face of business has significantly changed in recent years. It has become quicker, easier to travel, new modes of communication are being rapidly developed and refined. As a result of these changes, it is usual to find businesses with culturally diverse backgrounds. Training teams in an organisation to appreciate and embrace these differences can help differentiate a business and provide a competitive advantage. We will explore the challenges faced in today's culturally blended teams and define the benefits that come from our current world, the issues that might surface and methods of handling conflict. Who should attend ?   Anyone involved in managing cross-cultural teams, all cross-cultural teammates   Facilitator: • Alistair McArthur Alistair's ten years experience in China has enabled him to attain an understanding of the China business market and develop his Chinese language skills.
