CurrentCommisceo Global are an international training consultancy.We believe our training, our approach and our ethos can help break down barriers and counteract ignorance.When looking at training solutions what we believe is unhealthy is the type of cultural awareness education that is simmered down to knowing dos and don'ts or learning a list of bullet points on how to negotiate with the Chinese. This is just information. This is skin deep and in fact, we argue, it’s counterproductive as it reinforces stereotypes about a people and closes doors to alternative levels of understanding and more importanlty ways of thinking.We take a different route. We emphasise self-critique, skills based cultural understanding and experiential learning. Our focus is more on creating ‘global mindedness’.WorkYou could best see us as a consultancy or training provider with a particular expertise in the areas of working globally, cultural awareness skills and international training, i.e. the building blocks of global-mindedness.Much of what we do is designing bespoke training courses for business and organisations. We do this worldwide, in all languages, across sectors. These are either one-off workshops or can be much more detailed and long-term projects.We are flexible, creative and collaborative in our approach which has resulted in the creation of some innovative projects over the years.Next to our training courses we also offer consultative services such as programme design, needs analysis, training adaptation, course content authorship, emerging markets training and mystery shopping. For some clients we simply act as a sounding board offering feedback on internal learning and development.In short, we specialise in finding solutions, building programmes, courses and content that help give people the skills needed to work globally and/or across cultures.
