About us

Jean-Pierre Coene, Marc Jacobs and Tatjana von Bonkewitz created Hofstede Insights Luxembourg-Belgium S.à r.l. as the local office of Hofstede Insights.

Building on Hofstede Insights' research-backed methodologies, at Hofstede Insights Luxembourg-Belgium, we offer our clients data-based, practical tools to effectively face the cultural and organisational challenges that any international organisation faces.

We combine a long experience in management, sales, R&D, marketing, HR, consultancy and training in the fields of intercultural management and organizational culture in a global context. Our experience covers a wide range of industries including manufacturing, energy, financial, social and public services. We offer our services in English, French, Dutch, German, Luxembourgish and Italian.

Our intercultural services

We support our clients in harnessing the cultural diversity in their organisations. The workplaces are multicultural, customers are global and with our tools, based on Professor Geert Hofstede’s research and experience, we provide our clients with a practical framework and a language to understand, manage and  effectively use the cultural richness of their organisation and customers.

Workshops, trainings or key note speeches are tailor made for each client. Please contact us at lb@hofstede-insights.com for more information.
