Providing Diversity and Cross-Cultural Training Programs
Learning Communications Acquires Big World Media
In anticipation of the growing demand for cross-cultural and diversity awareness training, Learning Communications recently acquired the 14-title Big World DVD and Video and Online collection. Big World is the premier library of cross-cultural training and awareness programs - a must have for any organization contemplating, or doing business on a global basis.
 In his seminal best-seller, The World Is Flat, Thomas L. Friedman builds a compelling case that the American-centric business model that dominated much of the latter half of the twentieth century has given way to a flatter global model where our companies and our people are just one of many players in a highly competitive, more equal and intense economic tapestry.
Your organization can flourish in this flatter economic model but not without understanding and learning the cultures of where and with whom your people will do business. It's all about cultural awareness, communications, diversity, and behavioral skills.
 That's Big World's forte. Since 1994, Big World has been producing and marketing cross cultural awareness and diversity training program for employees and managers who do business on a global basis, or who are part of a multi-cultural workforce at home. Big World's DVD's, videos, and online programs are scenario-based. We believe that seeing real people interacting is the best way to increase awareness and develop the skills necessary to build sustainable, empathic and lasting relationships, create productive teams, communicate and negotiate effectively.
