I also wonder if the creation of culture ambassadors is an option. I have worked in businesses with strong culture differences being observed between different countries. To improve communication and cooperation, we formed project task forces that made up of a diverse team and they would spend time on a specific project across various manufacturing sites. These teams not only provided some excellent technical solutions to improve efficiencies in the factories, but also shared a lot of great cultural insights. This ultimately, led to a much deeper appreciation and respect across the teams and knocked down virtual walls that were in place.
