Frequently Asked Questions

With globalization and the development of remote exchanges, many employees have difficulty collaborating effectively with their foreign contacts, whether they are colleagues, clients or partners.
While the language barrier can be easily identified, the cultural barrier is often invisible. And yet the consequences can be serious: mergers and acquisitions that fail, trade negotiations that drag on, conflicts that slow down business, talent that leaves …

For a company, training its employees in how to decode cultural behavior is vital for succeeding in functional business exchanges!

With Gapsmoov, the objective of intercultural training is to facilitate exchanges between people of different nationalities.

Our solutions help highlight cultural trends, explain where they come from, and provide concrete solutions to successfully communicate and manage effectively in an international business context. And we manage to do all of this in a simple and fun way!

To anyone and everyone who communicates regularly or occasionally with foreign contacts: engineers, managers, sales representatives, assistants, technicians, students, etc.
Gapsmoov has succeeded in their bet to tailor intercultural training by making it accessible to as many people as possible (and not only to expats).

Our ‘Culture Decoder’ is available in French and English (and very soon in other languages) and all of our consultants run our virtual classes in these 2 languages at present.

We currently decode 70 countries (and we can decode more – it’s just a question of asking!)

At Gapsmoov, the training content is 100% original, which is what makes it unique and effective!

Our teaching team relies on double expertise: the feedback from experience of those in the field who have come face to face with these situations internationally, and the analysis of researchers specializing in intercultural matters. The result is that our training is pragmatic, motivating … and addictive!

An invention that you will only find at Gapsmoov! This indicator gives the cultural proximity between two countries. The higher the percentage, the closer their cultures. This figure is the result of an algorithm that combines the analysis of 18 cultural gaps weighted according to their level of importance, their risk versus success impacts, and the ability of individuals to adapt to these gaps.

Gapsmoov constantly adapts to the needs of its clients by regularly developing new themes.

Here are the 5 themes currently offered each week in our Culture Decoder:

– the 5 cultural challenges and opportunities for French people abroad,
– develop and adapt leadership internationally,
– manage a multicultural team,
– the fundamentals of interculturality at work, and
