In special education this is EXACTLY how we custom design learning interventions and programs for students. We even use graphic note taking to increase focus on visible actions that need to happen as a result of services. I have noticed a very strong connection between innovative tools like yours and the practices that have evolved in special education. The nature and severity of the needs in that field have created an ecosystem where nothing that isn't learner driven and objectively observable can survive. Perhaps with tools like yours we can get the same level of commitment to results in other types of learning experiences. Wonderful.

Very helpful hints. I have the feeling that some of the questions are hard to answer - even for our customers. And a whole bunch of scientific work has to be done - as there are still quite some questions which are unanswered. So, your answer opened quite a lot of potentials to enhance quality of cross cultural training. Thanks a lot. Regards, Steffen Hi Cathy,

I agree that "soft skills" areas like cross-cultural communication can be hard to quantify. One place to start could be to identify the visible behaviors that show that someone is cross-culturally competent. What does that person do? How can you tell by watching and listening that they've had your training? How does their behavior affect the decisions of the people they interact with? From there, you could try to identify how their employer benefits. Does the culturally-competent person close more sales? Build long-lasting relationships, which increases customer retention? Communicate more effectively, which makes communications more efficient and less expensive? Avoid insulting people, thus reducing the expense of lawsuits? If you do custom training, you could ask the client to identify more concretely how they expect to benefit from the training. Ideally, they'll be able to identify a measurement that they use now (such as income per customer) and they'll believe that cross-cultural training will improve that measurement. For generic training, you might want to pick one common goal, such as increasing sales across cultures, and use that as your starting point. I hope this helps. Does anyone else have any ideas? If so, please add your comments. Hi Steffen, thanks for your question. I agree that “soft skills” areas like cross-cultural communication can be hard to quantify.

It helped me a lot to become clearer about what to do. As I am in the cross cultural training business, I've to mention, that I have the feeling that quite often there is no measurable goal connected with a cross cultural training. Astonishingly those kind of training are conducted. ;) What do you think? Am I just not able to see the measurable goals? I am looking forward to your thoughts. Best Steffen Hi Cathy,
