Target Market:

Initially, “open” workshops for clients who have workforces consisting of many nationalities where English is the language of the company. Typically these would be international companies with operations in many parts of the world.

Problems to Solve:

With a mixture of many cultures and an increasing focus on working virtually, many communication and management issues arise. These issues and situations can decrease the efficiency of the company and at the same time increase the level of frustration felt by management and employees when dealing these issues. However, with effort, understanding and clear focus these issues can be managed.
