Swedish Culture Training can help you work better with Swedish colleagues
Are you involved in a regular working collaboration with Swedish nationals and companies? Your mutual understanding could be enhanced greatly by Swedish cultural training. Sweden is the 4th largest country in Western Europe with strong trading links to the UK. It is Britain’s 9th largest export market and 3rd largest supplier. Sweden is very successful in manufacturing. Its world-class companies are household names. Most of them have invested in Britain. A Swedish cultural briefing can help you learn much more…..
Sweden and the UK – similar but different
The UK and Sweden share many Northern European cultural characteristics: logic, systems, analysis and rationality. But there are key differences. Sweden is more forward-thinking than the UK. The Swedish attitude to team-working and responsibility is also significantly different. The Swedish approach to decision-making is much more collective - at least on the surface. An appreciation of these cross-cultural issues – of what makes our Swedish colleagues tick – can be a crucial factor in successful long-term relationships.

What clients said about their Swedish cultural training
“Variety of cultural differences
discussed openly. Well prepared, excellent handouts. Friendly, tailor-made
to our requirements, humorous and approachable.”
Claire Wilson
“The consultant had an excellent knowledge not only of the culture
of Sweden, but was able to contrast this with her (also excellent) understanding
of British culture. I was also impressed that she could switch between the
needs of my children (…) and the needs of myself and my husband for
the business cultural details.”
Cathy Raines
