A common question from companies considering offshoring

A common question from companies considering offshoring or outsourcing help is: “Will this person understand our culture enough to be effective?” To answer this question, one needs to look at the global dexterity within the offshore agency or person being hired.  In other words, how much can this agency or person adapt to your culture?
Global dexterity is a phrase coined by Andy Molinsky, author and Associate Professor of Organizational Behavior at the Brandeis International Business School. The concept itself is not new in the business world, however Mr Molinsky is able to explore in-depth real world applications in his new book called Global Dexterity: How to Adapt Your Behavior across Cultures without Losing Yourself in the Process (HBR Press, 2013).
In short, it is the idea that a person must learn to adapt or accommodate one’s own behavior to any new culture or environment if they are to be successful, and at the same time not lose owns’ authenticity.  It is “fitting in without giving in” as Mr Molinsky refers.
The book is a fascinating exploration in a global workforce. More poignantly, the concepts reflect  Coracall’s own philosophy when it comes to global outsourcing, adapting and success. All of Coracall’s skilled outsourcing and offshoring professionals understand the importance of recognising and acknowledging a client’s cultural nuances and differences and are able to adapt.  We are a  global dexterity company.
