Mastering agility & cultural fluency in global teams
summary
90 minutes of hands-on exercises use Erin Meyer’s Culture Map framework and printed worksheets so teams draw their own profiles, compare axes like linear vs cyclical time and communicating (low vs high context), and surface real failures (a marked-up report that destroyed trust) to prove gaps cause breakdowns. Specific claims: Japan is hierarchical yet consensual; being explicit, curious and “minding the gap” lets mixed teams converge. Outcome: filled maps and practical scripts for adapting interactions.
