As a matter of course, we are always most comfortable dealing with things we know, and tend to avoid dealing with things that we find unfamiliar. Unfortunately, this is often the case when it comes to differences between people too.

In the UK today, we have a melting pot of people, belief systems, languages, traditions and backgrounds. In addition to this, we may deal with individual with varying disabilities, or different economic & social backgrounds, or may find ourselves dealing with the infamous “generation gap”.

In order to deal with the diversity & rich texture of people with whom we interact, KRSS can bring you insight & understanding into each other’s worlds. Once the unfamiliar becomes familiar and interesting, bridges can be built, communication flows, and relationships flourish.

Inter-cultural issues also often arise as a result of the merging or integration of companies, with their different corporate ethos & cultures. The newly formed company needs to re-lay foundations in order to grow & prosper. The new corporate identity needs to be communicated efficiently & quickly, in a way that leaves the staff comfortable with the new corporate identity. KRSS can assist in the blending of the corporate cultures & reintegration staff members, in order to reduce internal problems, & find solutions that work for everyone concerned.

Another example of inter-cultural communication can arise in family-run firms, where the line between business partners and family members is blurred, causing personal & business lives & feelings to blur uncomfortably, causing friction at home and at work, and often restricting the growth & potential of the company. KRSS can analyse & re-draw the lines needed to allow both family life and business fortunes to prosper, giving everyone concerned the tools to deal with the varied roles that they need to fulfill.

In addition to internal company communications, intercultural communication will help you with your external marketing communication strategies, enabling you to target your messages, and open up the potential clientele for your company across all of the strata of society into which your company wishes to market.

By its very nature interventions in this arena are closely tailored to each client company and are based on an in-depth initial scoping briefing.
