Cultural Sustainability and Global Mindset in Dynamic Global Companies

To kickoff 2022, we featured two leaders with deep expertise on global mindset.

This Global Chamber® globinar is entitled "Cultural Sustainability and Global Mindset in Dynamic Global Companies" and featured Professor Mansour JAVIDAN - Professor of Management at Thunderbird School of Global Management, and Renée MEYER - Thunderbird graduate and global consultant.

Watch the conversation HERE.

What is global mindset - let's get regrounded.

What is cultural sustainability?

It means that the culture remains constant throughout the entire organization. Values are the guiding lights and stay the same throughout. If you have a global mindset, you are able to translate the company culture to the different national AND departmental cultures.

How does this translate in workplace activity?

What about the role of culture in sustainability/sustainable development?

Where does it play a role? What is its importance? Can a global mindset help the cause of sustainability? Is culture a 4th pillar of sustainability, after People, Planet, Profit?

How can we use all of this to be more successful globally in 2022?
