BI presentations have been awarded the ‘Peoples’ Choice Award by our peers at two consecutive national conferences of the Australian Institute of Training and Delivery. The BI training process is highly interactive and practically oriented.  It includes:

• A clear learning pathway
• Best practice Intercultural models
• A variety of medium to demonstrate key points: DVD, business example handouts, case studies, trainer examples
• Comprehensive participant notes including further references list

By the end of a one day program, participants will be able to:

• Identify key cultural differences in approach to business process and provide examples from their own business
• Define the dominant elements of their own culture and how their approach to achievement of business outcomes may differ from that of clients and/or colleagues
• Apply specific strategies to communicate more clearly and effectively
