Are you curious about exploring an international career, what it’s like to work outside your base country or, are you looking for ways to connect more authentically with your colleagues and customers abroad? With seven international assignments between them presenters share their perspectives and leverage the social psychologist Geert Hostede’s cultural model, termed dimensions of culture, interspersed with anecdotes and a bit of contextual history to understand how to become a better cross-cultural finance professional and leader. This discussion is structured around two sets of learnings – those relevant toward being a better FP&A analyst (long-term orientation, uncertainty avoidance) and those relevant toward being a better leader (indulgence, power distance).
- International experience can make you a better analyst and advisor by equipping you with a broader and longer-term perspective and a more holistic view of risk.
- International experience can make you a better leader by helping you more deeply understand your diverse team, understand power dynamics, and learn how to better balance work and life.
