A Russian participant

"A global corporation such as Total is constantly diversifying. This diversity can create misunderstandings. Yet, it also means -as far as we can take advantage of it- a key competitive advantage, which is necessary for us to develop.

The workshop created by Jerome Dumetz, answers these problems perfectly by allowing us to identify what we already achieve, and to fill up our gaps in the intercultural domain."

Marc LIRIO
Total E&P Russia
Head of Human Resources Development and Internal Communication

"After 25 years of research we become increasingly aware that the use of general models like the 7 dimensions of culture come to life when local specialists bring it to life.

Jerome is such a person. Being of French origin, educated in the Netherlands and married with a Russian beauty, he is well equipped to give great insights into Russian culture and its effects on management. This talent showed in his contributions to the recently published version of Riding the Waves of Culture.

In short, I highly recommend to cooperate with this dynamic person."
