The InterSearch Academy Program for consultants was held in Gent in Belgium this year. The InterSearch Academy was founded in order to share knowledge capital in the InterSearch community of over 90 offices worldwide. This year the participating countries were Brazil, Belgium, Finland, Malaysia, Germany, Japan, India, Ukraine and Hungary. The three trainers were the very experienced and senior members of InterSearch, David Wouters of InterSearch Japan (front row, blue tie), Andras of Hungary (Right behind David) and Michael Gross of Germany (back row, second from right).
The three day program was held at the Gent Marriot hotel and consisted of training program modules, case studies, a Strategic Management presentation competition in groups and a sight seeing dinner tour of the beautiful city of Gent.
The Program was a huge success with lots of active discussions in groups and fierce competition in the Strategy presentation. The company is now planning to make Programs like this a more regular feature in the Academy and include more number of countries, of the 40 countries InterSearch is present in currently.
The main learning for everyone from this program was that different people from different countries and extremely different cultures can come together and form a successful partnership, share ideas. Every country, or region has different problems and provides custom made solutions. Europe is very different in work culture and attitude towards executive search from Asia, yet, partner companies in both places are not just surviving but flourishing with their own set of unique solutions within the wider framework of InterSearch World Wide.
The main need which came out as part of the program is to build more connecting fibres across partner countries, and make InterSearch more saleable in all countries. To build a strategy which provides the most balanced solution to communication lags and using all our global resources to the fullest by everyone concerned. This is the next step in InterSearch Worldwide.
