Is your company helping to develop a global mindset in people?
This exercise helps you to understand whether your company is really helping to develop a global mindset in people.
Ask yourself the following four questions:
- Are people in your company properly incentivized to spend time in other countries and regions and invest in ad-hoc trainings to forge their multicultural skills?
- Are leaders in your organization able to connect with global business managers, country and regional managers of the entire organization?
- Are there tools provided by your company to measure and help to improve people’s multicultural competence?

Here you will find valuable insights elaborated by Bettina Büchel based on the results of a global mindset survey that was done few years ago amongst the participants of our world-renown program Orchestrating Winning Performance.
