\"Training<\/a>It’s a question we’re often asked: what sets Global Integration<\/a> trainers apart from the rest? Here, CEO Kevan Hall explains:<\/em><\/p>\n

To train the \u2018soft skills\u2019 required by individuals who work within a matrix, virtual or global organization<\/strong> our trainers need to have lived and worked in at least one country outside their own at a management<\/strong> level. They need to have experience at facilitating training, and be able to speak at least two languages.<\/p>\n

This may seem a lot to ask, but our training goes well beyond traditional cross cultural training<\/a>, which is still important, of course, but it doesn\u2019t address all of the issues faced by people working in multicultural groups.<\/p>\n

We focus on the practical \u2018how to\u2019 of working across borders. It\u2019s almost impossible, unless you\u2019ve lived it, to really empathise completely with the competing pressures \u00a0– and of course, pleasures – of working in global, matrixed or virtual teams.<\/p>\n

To date we have trained people across 40 countries, in more than 300 organizations,\u00a0\u00a0many of which have worked with us for numerous years.<\/p>\n

Much of this is doubtless because all of our consultants work for Global Integration<\/strong> as employees, rather than associates –\u00a0with the exception of one team member, whose truly international lifestyle means he spends six months a year in Mauritius pursuing his own interests. This is completely\u00a0unlike most other training<\/strong> organizations.<\/p>\n

Because we specialists, and want to remain thought leaders in our field, we don’t believe you can do this if you only train a subject infrequently. Our specialists have a passion for, and in-depth understanding of, the subject matter, and are constantly evolving new intellectual property in our niche.<\/p>\n

This ensures that at our core are full time employees who appreciate fully what it takes to manage yourself and others in matrixed<\/a>, virtual<\/a> and global organizations<\/a>.<\/p>\n
