Danish workplaces are increasingly international — especially in engineering, STEM and project-driven environments.  

Even when colleagues share expertise, cultural differences in communication, expectations and decision-making can quietly (or loudly) affect teamwork. 

This webinar gives you a practical introduction to Cultural Intelligence (CQ) and shows how small shifts in behavior can create big improvements in collaboration. 

You will learn: 

  • Why misunderstandings arise even between skilled professionals
  • How cultural norms affect meetings, proactivity and knowledge-sharing
  • Why trust is both used and built differently across cultures - and how to adapt
  • How to recognize different communication and collaboration styles
  • A simple CQ-tool you can start using immediately 

The webinar draws on cases from real engineering and STEM environments: 

  • Why some colleagues wait for instructions while others take initiative
  • Why “quick alignment” feels efficient to some — but rushed or unclear to others
  • Why leadership expectations vary dramatically across cultures
The webinar is a preview of the IDA course Working Effectively Across Cultures & Skab effektivt samarbejde i multikulturelle teams, where participants go deeper into CQ, cultural dimensions, trust-building and practical tools for everyday leadership and collaboration. 

Perfect for engineers, specialists, project managers and leaders working in cross-cultural environments - or preparing to. 

Presenter: Mikkel Orlovski, Principal Consultant, Connecting Cultures.
