What is a RIC Team?

Remote InterCultural Teams are the reality for many organisations around the globe. Interculturality impacts how people collaborate in a team. If we add the remote aspect (virtual or hybrid), this impact might be even more significant. While RIC Teams can be an invaluable resource, they also come with challenges.

What are your RIC Team's challenges?

Do you feel like your RIC Team could be so much more effective and efficient? Do you have the feeling that something is not quite right in your RIC Team but you can't put your finger on the 'why'? Maybe you face dissonances or
conflictual situations which slow down your work?

How can your RIC Team reach its full potential?

 

We help your RIC Team excel by applying our modular 4-step process:

  1. We help create awareness.

  2. We reveal the invisible map and provide you with orientation.

  3. We give you the compass to navigate through your RIC Team's daily work.

  4. We help your RIC Team move forward and continuously evolve in its changing environment.

Depending on your situation and team realities, we adapt the modular process and its steps to your specific needs.
