Arc system innovations
Using the ARC System™ enables you to:
Analyze
…your own cultural tendencies and see which of eight cultural dimensions are most important for you. Find out where you are most/least flexible and which tendencies in other people are likely to cause you confusion and frustration.
Recognize
…cultural tendencies in a contact or country, and the “critical” cultural dimensions for your relationship with them. Learn how you differ from them and identify ways this difference can create conflict in your relationship--as well as beneficial synergies.
Capitalize
…on your knowledge of the cultural dimensions that affect any relationship you have and develop strategies for any intercultural situation you experience.

What’s different about the ARC System ™?
Rather than relying on one-size-fits-all country generalizations that may not apply to the location, company or individuals you’re dealing with, you can use cultural analysis to identify the tendencies of your specific contacts anywhere in the world based on their behavior and communication styles.
The system takes you beyond cultural awareness to predict culture-based miscommunication and conflict and develop profile-based solutions to problems and conflicts.
The ARC System™ recognizes that cultural diversity is not only a source of problems—it’s also a source of potential creativity and high performance. The system takes you beyond problem solving to synergy creation to get the most from international collaborations.
The system can be used by anyone, from any cultural starting point, to understand counterparts anywhere in the world. And it becomes easier each time you use it to recognize the cultural features you’re dealing with and develop effective intercultural strategies.
