Open Mind, Open World: Improving Intercultural Interactions‚Ñ¢

Each of us is a product of our culture. We grow up thinking our culture is ‚Äúnormal” and other cultures are ‚Äúdifferent.” The values or norms of other cultures are not always obvious to us. In a work environment, cultural differences can present challenges.

The O.P.E.N. model discussed in this course will aid in your communication.

Open Mind, Open World shows that communicating effectively in different cultural situations is based first on understanding cultural values and then on learning a new strategy and practicing skills.
