For example with corporate culture, efforts should allow the local organizations to define their own corporate culture, and the global content developed to be flexible and easily incorporated into current training initiatives like New Employee Orientation and mandatory compliance workshops.<\/li>\n<li>Avoid hiring an outside agency to craft, they rarely get True Vision\u2013they \u00a0 understand the Data, but not Context. \u00a0They may add credibility and professional look and feel, but to be cost effective, they usually plug Data into a generic Boiler Plate.<\/li>\n<li>Craft content in a way to connect to a wide segment of the workforce including \u00a0\u201cThe New Creative Class.\u201d (See my case study on topic and who they are). \u00a0Here is the Link.<a href=\"http:\/\/unbouncepages.com\/case-study-fb\/\">Creative Class Case Study<\/a><\/li>\n<li>The program should be launched in a way that dazzles and impresses the local teams and leadership. \u00a0Sadly I have seen well-crafted program presented poorly.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><b>Concluding Thought \u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Shared globally programs can align an organization and serve as a compass to steer the respective teams forward. \u00a0It is also a daunting task and one requiring a sound plan and execution.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">###<\/p>\n<p>For questions raised, Stacey, my personal assistant at <a href=\"mailto:stacey@koreabcw.com\">stacey@koreabcw.com<\/a> can coordinate a time for us to chat by phone, meet or handle by email.<\/p>\n<p>Would you like a copy of my book <i>Korea Facing: Secrets for Success In Korean Global Business? \u00a0\u00a0<\/i><a href=\"http:\/\/unbouncepages.com\/korea-facing\/\"><i>Click Here<\/i><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As I pointed out in Part 1 of this series, recognizing there will be challenges is one thing, providing a solid solution is another.
