Bridging Culture (BC) president and CEO Don Southerton announced that the firm has expanded its Korean operations. Southerton notes, “A full range of BC’s popular training programs and consulting services are now available in Korea.” Southerton points out that major Korean corporations are beginning to see the benefit in cross-cultural training for their global teams.

The programs offered on both sides of the Pacific introduce team members to the respective business cultures, norms, and customs. BC training is designed to provide insights into the dynamics of Korean and American business, specifically relevant history, culture, and practices. Outcomes of BC programs include cultural alignment and improved productivity.
