- Aims & Objectives
- This Forum is aimed specifically at senior leaders from different backgrounds who share a passion and experience in cross-cultural management issues and bi-cultural business environments.
- Since its creation in May 2009, the Forum has been actively working as a ‘think tank’ of best practice towards its objectives: promoting a better understanding of business culture in France and in the UK, and disseminating cross-cultural know-how to Chamber members.
- To help achieve these goals, the Forum is organised around 3 core groups of committed individuals who meet regularly sharing valuable tips, anecdotes, and do’s & don’ts, to ultimately produce practical tools to help businesses.
- There is a lot to be expected from this ambitious Forum which has recently published a booklet ‘Light at the end of the tunnel’ focussed on bridging the divide between French and British business practices.
