We're pleased to announce the arrival of Cultural Detective™, a series of culture-specific training tools available for purchase on line. The series contains over 35 culture versions for public training and individual use. Cultural Detective™   is designed for use with a facilitator and a cultural resource person in a face-to-face training situation, or virtually as an online group. Cultural Detective™   participants identify and explore a culture using key values as “clues,” analyze specific cross-cultural cases and develop practical strategies for more effective intercultural collaboration.

Lucy Shahar and Anat Kedem are co-authors of Cultural Detective Israel .

Cultural Detective Israel contains the following stories and critical incidents:

• An American project team leader in Israel for technical discussions.
• A meeting between British and Israeli team members.
• An Israeli at a business dinner in Argentina.
• Jewish and Arab Israelis working together in a northern Israel semiconductor plant.
• A Russian immigrant teaching in a Jerusalem high school.
• A German textile importer discussing maintenance procedures with the Israeli manufacturer.
• A Filipino computer engineer working for an Israeli team leader in Israel .
• A Swedish manager leading a consulting discussing with an Israeli team.
• An American CEO reorganizing a newly-purchased Israeli software company.

If you work with Israelis or other cultures, face-to-face or virtually, we believe you'll find Cultural Detective™   to be a valuable learning tool that builds individual and organizational competence.

Prepackaged and ready- to- go, it provides three hours of training that can be expanded to a full day.
