    INDONESIA EXPERT IN UK/NL

    2C International is working on a project for a well known European company who are well advanced in developing a strategy to set up a wholly owned subsidiary or what may turn out to be a JV in Indonesia.

    The project will involve us in helping to develop the professional development, team interaction and some HR strategy and at a later stage, plan integration processes and provide training, support and some Exec level coaching. No tech HR input is required.

    We wonder if anybody knows or is connected to a colleague with an in depth knowledge of Indonesia, they should have worked there or, if not, know the country and its business practices and have a firm basis either in OD or C/C training. Knowledge of offshore Chinese will be an advantage. This is likely to require an on/off commitment over a period and might require some travel to Jakarta.

    Being based in Europe within easy access of London/Amsterdam is important.

    Please contact Peter Petzal:
    2C International POB 43893 London NW6 2XT

    FIFTH WINTER INSTITUTE, LILLE, FRANCE

    5th Winter Institute of Intercultural Communication
    Lille Catholic University, France

    The University is organising its 5th Winter Institute of Intercultural Communication. This is a week-long affair with some 120 students divided into 7 or 8 groups to look at different aspects of intercultural communication. All the students have already done at least a 25-30 hr introductory course to intercultural communication and most of them have recently returned from a 5-6 month international work experience.

    The college is looking for someone who is based in Europe or will be in Europe for the period of January 24 – January 30 and who could do a 25-30 hr course (in English) along the lines of "Management of Multicultural Teams/Projects", "Working in Multicultural Teams" etc.

    Finances are very limited and the college can only offer expenses (travel, food and hotel accommodation) plus a small stipend. However, a great experience is guaranteed. Good students, nice work environment, great calibre of colleague (some are members of this group), great food and socialising. The college currently has 7 of the 8 teachers it needs and they need only one more to make sure that this 5th anniversary institute is truly memorable.

    If you are interested, please contact me for more details and to put you in contact with the organisers.

    Kind regards
    Grant Douglas

    Head of International Relations ESTIT
