Overview

A PRESTIGIOUS AND PROFESSIONAL PIONEER

For nearly forty years, Cross-Cultural Management Company (CCM) has been Asia’s pioneer in the field of team building across cultures. We have uncovered many of the keys to making cross-cultural operations work much more successfully – management tools that continually help organizations reap enormous benefits.

With over 20,000 graduates representing 78 nationalities from 250 major organizations in Thailand, our customers have returned to their jobs as team members ready to modify and improve their management approaches. The results: increased harmony and productivity.

Over the past three decades, CCM has helped companies with hundreds of unique projects. A sample:
Building teams of Australians and Thai engineers constructing a dam in a remote corner of western Thailand. Helping Thais learn how to manage Australians, in a Thai-owned company in Western Australia.

• Team-building projects for multi-cultural aid programs in the SEA Region; Vietnam, Indonesia, Laos, Bangladesh, as well as Thailand
• A high-priority training project to encourage local Asians to come forward with feedback about problems and emergencies, saving the company many thousands of dollars.
• A complete top-to-bottom examination of communication and teamwork for the largest foreign oil-and-gas exploration company in Asia, and conduced seminars on the production platform itself.
• A large morale study and advisory role, which succeeded in averting a strike, an employees’ union, and other serious consequences ….. and many, many more
• Help to virtually every UN organization throughout the region, with every challenge they choose to tackle
