Our customers say:

"I expected it to be more stereotypical, but it was interesting that culture was approached in terms of behavioural tendencies. it allows for a more case by case application. an interesting Demonstration was the meeting role play where we had to come to a decision. This illustrated very much how culture could interfere when I would have attributed it to competence."

"Hofstede Insights analytical and data-driven approach enables a strategic yet very hands-on and no-nonsense, human approach to culture. Expanding your horizon to a more profitable and rewarding business."

"We have enhanced the levels of inclusion in our company. Even if we were always a diverse and respectful company, we now have a much better understanding of each other. We managed to use the different intellectual insights, different perspectives, on a daily basis. Does it always work? No. But, then again, we are so much better. And I think that’s the other learning, step by step we are better today than we were yesterday.”

"The trainer was amazing with keeping the whole group ‘in the sweet spot’ – where we were all eager to debate and know more, while still conveying the message and the background theory and explanations. I found it very useful that he shared his own personal story. […] I was able to take many of his teachings, questions and thoughts with me also outside of classroom and organisation."

CASE STUDY

The Dutch managers of a Dutch IT company had not been able to successfully integrate the many Bulgarian and Indian programmers into their teams. The misunderstandings and irritations with the Dutch colleagues became more and more frequent. It was not a question of competency. They were all highly educated and very motivated. By making the impact of the major differences on various dimensions of culture clear to management, we were able to show systematically, but with sensitivity for the people, how the managers could not only bridge the differences, but make them work to the advantage of the team.

Hofstede Insights the Netherlands provides an analytical and data-driven approach that enables a strategic yet very hands-on and no-nonsense, human approach to culture. Expanding your horizon to a more profitable and rewarding business.
