Visitors welcomed the opportunity to talk and exchange views and clearly valued the opportunity to open dialogue with potential suppliers. It is good to be reminded of the importance of building relationships and the trust that can develop following a personal meeting even if it is only for a few minutes. Hospitality always goes down well in France and a glass of champagne or in our case, the offer of tempting shortbread or traditional British sweets, proved a hit with delegates. French speakers are much appreciated and those with good linguists on their team would have benefited the most, but the atmosphere was warm and welcoming to all. There was a comprehensive programme of seminars in French but also a healthy number of presentations in English. Topics ranged from the complexities of managing international assignments, immigration and risk avoidance to country specific presentations. It is easy to assume that everyone is advancing at the same rate across global frontiers and focusing on the same destinations but just as time is never wasted going over fundamental best practise principles it is wise to reflect on national perspective and the lense the world is viewed through. Not surprisingly cultural awareness was high on the agenda. See the special section created for a flavour of the Mondissimo Convention, mobility issues and trends . We also welcome your views and comments on managing international assignments and the burning issues from the French perspective on an ongoing basis. Please contribute to the French section or tell us what you need to know to manage international assignments in or out of France. Contributions in French are welcome! |
