A process for effective multicultural teams that managers quietly work around has already failed. Policy on the wider people management and development agenda is judged by how it is applied in the difficult cases, not the easy ones. Participants take away a working set of documents supporting this strand of people management and development, ready to be adapted internally. Plans for effective multicultural teams often fail at the handover point between functions. It concentrates on the parts of this area of people management and development that determine outcomes and treats the rest proportionately. Each session closes with a decision the participant must justify about this part of people management and development in their own setting. Where effective multicultural teams is measured, it improves; where it is only discussed, it drifts. The level assumes working familiarity with the workforce but no prior formal training in this aspect of people management and development. The closing exercise tests whether the participant's plan for the wider people management and development agenda survives a hostile question.
