November 2024 News! Cross-cultural mediation expertise that combines both network and strategy, for the benefit of the planet. In the spirit of greener ecosystem building, a cultural consultancy is now also providing agile think tank services. More information upcoming!

We like to take our tea with stratagem - a warm welcome to join. In the context of greener economy,  the mission is to create a culture of "Learning Together"( 一起学习). 

Crossing rivers by feeling for the stones - this saying describes an experimentation mindset. In the visual below the stepping stones are seen. How to proceed, when they are not seen? 3stones Consulting provides expert help.

In addition, pro-bono strategy tea sessions and (upcoming) podcast explores the question: "How to speed up broad network facilitation for sustainability -  across silos, cultural differences and sectors?" Origin is in the founder's MA research that applies multiple-angle lens to green finance experimentation, hybrid thinking and relationality. 

The Art of Cross-Cultural Relationships - at the core of the company

Knowledge can be studied, but skill must be acquired. And true skill is only learned via practice! We provide experience-based live training via which personal cross-cultural communication & management skills can be practiced in a psychologically safe setting - before stepping out into the real world. For both Nordic to China and China to Nordic transitions! In practical terms, are you transitioning from

-a high hierarchy context (China) or a low hierarchy context (Nordics)? 

-direct communication setting (Nordics) or indirect (China)?

- a more data-centered individualist culture or more relationship-centered collectivist culture?

How to understand other ways of communicating and doing things, and modify one's own "comfort zone" preferences? It is possible. As a first step, it is essential to map your unique personal cultural preferences and styles. Let's meet for tea and take the first step, planning a tailored personal-level program for you (planning meeting without cost). 

Our "context-based" training experiences can be produced at, for example, a lake-side cottage, startup office, teahouse or boardroom! Would you like a simulated startup interview? Insight into how to navigate some boardroom drama? Intrigue at the legal office? Guidance through a tricky management scenario where two management styles collide? We bring in live actors, create a tailored setting for experiencing different communication and management styles... and guide you through strategic options - tailored for you. Luxurious historical contexts are possible as well - for example Finnish President Kekkonen's sauna experience for guests.

(FIN) Ihmissuhteiden Taito 

Tieto ja taito hankitaan eri tavalla. Taito luodaan harjoituksen kautta.  Me tarjoamme turvallisen alustan näille harjoituksille!

Kulttuurisensitiiviset viestinnän ja johtamisen taidot ovat henkilökohtaisia taitoja, joita opitaan "tekemällä oppien". Kauttamme näitä taitoja voi harjoitella turvallisesti ja elämyksellisesti (live simulointi), jotta kalliita reaali-elämän kulttuurienvälisiä väärinkäsityksiä voitaisiin ennalta-ehkäistä mahdollisimman tehokkaasti. Jokainen tämänkaltainen kulttuuri koulutus räätälöidään. Ensi askel, alkukartoitus, on maksuton.
