Learn

Self-paced, on the platform

Explore your Explicit/Implicit, Simple/Complex and Task/Relationship scores
Explore Worldprism profiles for the cultural backgrounds most frequently represented in your customer base
Work with Carla: how does your Explicit/Implicit score compare to a key customer profile, and what does it create?
Video microlearning: how Worldprism dimensions shape customer expectations, and what good service looks and sounds like across profiles
Article: handling complaints and de-escalating across cultures, and how Explicit/Implicit and Shared/Concentrated drive resolution expectations
Self-assessment poll: which customer cultural backgrounds or service scenarios do you find most challenging?

Practice

Digital, plus a live session on Blended

An AI simulation takes you through a complete cross-cultural service interaction, from a culturally loaded complaint to an escalation and a resolution, with a customer whose Worldprism profile contrasts sharply with yours.

On Blended, this is also where your chosen live session sits. The three options are below.

Apply

In real work, with Carla on hand

Apply Worldprism-adapted communication and service techniques in real customer interactions every day
Access country and cultural Worldprism profiles before or during key customer interactions
Use Carla for coaching on specific cross-cultural service challenges, especially after difficult interactions
Carla is available on demand in Microsoft Teams, Slack, or on the phone

Evaluate

Scored, not self-reported

A final AI simulation test asks the learner to navigate a challenging cross-cultural customer service scenario from first contact to resolution, scored against S1, S3 and S5 proficiency levels.
