Opening of the CultureWizard Blog

Why a Blog About Culture?

If there is a difference between the skills required to be successful in business between this decade and last, it is our ability to harness the intellectual contribution of the people we work with. In today’s world, we’re always working with people from around the world–figuratively or literally. They’re either sitting next to us or at the other end of a virtual meeting.

Eliminating barriers to communication that enable us to understand and appreciate what people are saying and what they need from us in order to maximize their contribution is a key skill of contemporary managers. All of us are made richer by hearing and learning about each other’s experiences–what works interculturally and what doesn’t. This blog is dedicated to sharing experiences, insights and opinions about global cultural diversity.

Over the next few weeks, we will be traveling through Europe, the Middle East and Asia, and we think this is the opportune time to begin sharing our experiences and asking you to share yours.
