“We have found Cultural Detective to be an important addition to our intercultural learning toolbox. The materials are accessible and relevant to our particular issues in international exchange and intercultural learning.”
“Cultural Detective is a wonderful resource that we use to help us bring to light and deal with the differences and adjustment issues that happen in a cross-cultural exchange.”
”Cultural Detective is contributing very significantly to CIEE’s efforts to help students abroad understand core cultural concepts, and develop key intercultural perspectives and skills—and is doing all of this in cost-effective ways.”
“Cultural Detective helped the students learn not only how to understand others’ cultures but their own. Students demonstrated a tremendous amount of growth in just a couple days!”
“While other cultural databases do an effective job of providing country overviews, CD Online offers unique and complementary capabilities. In addition to crisp, clear detailed summaries of each country’s cultural values, the nearly 400 cross-cultural incidents provided show users exactly what can go wrong when cultural understanding gaps exist. The tool follows-up by sharing the differences in cultural values that underlie each incident and offers concrete suggestions to build cultural bridges and avoid similar incidents.
CD Online is a great hands-on teaching tool that adds value to:
1) Employees beginning overseas assignments
2) Global project team members
3) Mergers and acquisition partners
4) Outsourcing engagements
Thanks for making this tool available to those who need it at a reasonable cost!”
“Having online materials provides greater opportunity to run remote and virtual training more effectively. The more tools in my toolbox also increases confidence and likelihood of being able to meet any clients’ needs.”
“Cultural Detective enabled the students to realize the different perspectives people have because of the various cultures that have impacted who they are.”
“One of the most valuable learnings has to be the ease with which miscommunication happens. To stand back and assess a situation and the ability to consider other needs/wants will help me in the future.”
“I recommend a Cultural Detective subscription to anyone who is involved in any way with other cultures. Individuals, families, organizations and corporations all will benefit. Like the slogan states, it will increase productivity and strengthen relationships.”
“In my search for training that we could purchase and customize to our specific needs, I came across Cultural Detective and discovered that we could, using your materials and methodology, offer our learners much more than the basics. In fact, what I found in Cultural Detective was an approach to cross-cultural communication that would leverage and greatly enhance the communication skills that our team already puts to use every day to achieve shared understanding with our U.S. business-to-business customers.”
