Helping International Teams Collaborate
For Businesses
As workplaces become increasingly international, cultural differences can influence communication styles, expectations, decision making, leadership and collaboration.
Menkreo Method offers interactive workshops that help international teams better understand the cultural differences that shape how people communicate, collaborate and work together. Drawing on psychology and established intercultural frameworks such as Hofstede's Cultural Dimensions, participants gain practical insights into different values, expectations and communication styles. The workshop combines theory, discussion and real world examples, helping teams turn cultural differences into a strength rather than a source of misunderstanding.
The Workshop
Working across cultures
This interactive workshop introduces Hofstede's Cultural Dimensions, one of the most widely used frameworks for understanding cultural differences in the workplace.
Rather than focusing on stereotypes, the workshop helps participants develop awareness of different cultural perspectives and learn practical strategies for working effectively across cultures.
The workshop combines theory, discussion, reflection and real world examples. The basis of the workshop are six dimensions that differ between cultures.
Power Distance

Individualism vs Collectivism

Uncertainty Avoidance

Achievement
