LEARNING RESOURCES
We develop user-friendly learning resources and tools that individuals can use privately, or in workgroups, to facilitate their intercultural development. We can adapt our existing learning tools or develop new learning materials that meet client requirements. Examples of the learning resources that we have created for clients include:
|
Intercultural Self-Development Guide: At the request of a global bank this manual was developed for building the intercultural awareness of employees. The manual included a self-assessment tool for users to assess their own intercultural fitness, and provided an introduction to the key intercultural concepts needed for self-study. Through using company-specific case studies, it enabled users to apply their learning to their roles and their daily international interactions. Tailored versions of this self-directed learning manual can be created for other organisations.
Self-Assessment Tools: Based on research and many years of experience in the fields of cross-cultural adjustment and performance, Pharos has created specialised self-assessment tools to guide expatriate candidates and their families through the decision making and early preparation process for international assignments. These tools are updated and tailored to the needs of clients for particular global regions and circumstances.

Cultural Detective: More than seventy experienced interculturalists from 35 countries have collaborated to write the Cultural Detective™, a series of dynamic, situation- and values-based training tools that encourages participants to develop intercultural competence in themselves and their organisations. Robert Brown and Banu Golesorkhi of Pharos International co-authored the Cultural Detective-England, to help people understand the most numerous cultural group within the United Kingdom. You can purchase Cultural Detective tools for the countries of your choice from the Cultural Detective Website.
