Welcome
ABCC is a boutique consultancy firm specialized in Corporate Learning & Development. We create cutting-edge, personalized and measurable learning journeys that develop the international competence of individuals and teams, and instill a Global Mindset at every level of the organization.
Our focus is on Cross-Cultural and Cross-Border Communication, Management & Leadership, Multicultural Team Effectiveness & Collective Intelligence, Intercultural Negotiations, Sales & Customer Service, Country Briefings; International Mobility; Foreign Languages; as well as Diversity & Inclusion.
Despite globalisation each culture remains unique, with its own specific characteristics and cultural and historical influences. It would be illusory to believe that behaviours that have existed for thousands of years will change in a few generations.
With demographic changes, the rise of nationalism and geopolitical tensions, it is becoming even more important not only to have a good knowledge of local cultures, but also to be open to other perspectives.
Intercultural competence has been identified as one of the future skills by the OECD, the Council of Europe, and many others. As such, our aim is to provide the keys to decoding the cultures of the world, as well as overcoming the differences.
