Do you need an easy yet comprehensive tool to lean on as you collaborate with global colleagues? The 4R Model is your go-to framework for navigating global work interactions. It’s an invaluable tool as handy as a GPS or a pocket-sized travel dictionary. The online course will give you a fresh perspective on cross-cultural collaboration. You will feel equipped to coach yourself and your colleagues, and confidently step into new cultural contexts. 

‘Your Cultural GPS’ course is designed with a clear, intuitive structure that will keep you engaged with videos, polls, steps of action, and handouts to download. It’s sprinkled with reflective questions to help you make valuable links between your learning and your work context. 

Annette Dahl, seasoned Interculturalist and CEO of C3 Consulting is your inspiring guide throughout the course. Her deep global experience brings theory to life, enriched with Annette’s insightful, real-world examples. 

We have intentionally built the course as a linear, simple flow that will guide you and prevent the detours that easily happen in more complex, online cultural tools.  You can go through the course at your own pace and in whatever timeframe you have available. The 7 modules take roughly 3-3.5 hours to cover. We do recommend that you set aside an allocated time every couple of days or each week to stay focused and committed to your learning.

To maximize your outcomes, we strongly encourage you to team up with a partner or a colleague who is also taking the course so you can reflect and work on some of the exercises together. Alternatively, team up with a friend or work partner who can act as your accountability buddy as you share your progress and insights with them.

The applicable 4R model also helps them understand what drives and motivates team members from different cultures, enabling deeper connections and more productive collaborations. 

The 4R model is an intuitive and straightforward tool with broad usage. As your Cultural GPS, you can use the 4R framework for a whole range of challenges within your global teamwork.

Our country profiles provide valuable insights into cultural patterns, offering a starting point for understanding global colleagues, employees, and business partners. While these profiles describe general tendencies in national cultures, they are not checklists for deciphering individual behaviors. Instead, use them as a foundation for exploration and deeper cultural understanding.

This course is designed for professionals working with colleagues, clients, or vendors from different national cultures. The 4R Model equips you with valuable tools to navigate cultural dynamics confidently and effectively.

But it doesn’t stop there—the 4R Model also provides critical insights for managing domestic cultural differences, serving as an internal compass to help you challenge assumptions and make culturally informed decisions.
