Train-the-Trainer Workshop for inhouse trainers of a Global Finance Corporation.
(2020 – ongoing) Finance Industry
Challenge
Ongoing globalisation within a financial organisation means that Subject Matter Experts (SME) are based in Australia, India and China. A new operating model has been implemented to enhance customer focus. The culturally diverse professionals (SME’s and managers) need to collaborate in co-located cross functional teams. This new way of working has an impact on perceptions and preferences around practices dealing with e.g. trust, teamwork and communication. The organisation wants to prepare their co-located SME’s and management for possible cultural disconnect between the different levels and cultures involved.
Leadership contracts us to develop a Train-the-Trainer course to train the organisations’ in-house trainers: these trainers need to be able to prepare SME’s to become culturally connected and capable to deal with the impact of cultural differences in their cross functional teams while servicing internal and external clients in Australia.

The feedback from the participating trainers and coordinators has been very positive: we look forward assisting the in-house trainers during the roll-out to over 1000 staff over the coming years.
Over the past 23 years, we have worked with leaders, managers, and professionals within the Finance, IT and Managed services Industry – focus on internationalisation, partnerships, and global remote teams (please also explore our Industry Briefing).
