Promoting, Implementing, Mapping Language and Intercultural Communication Strategies in Organisations and Companies


HRDC has successfully implemented PIMLICO, a European Commission Study which started in April 2010 in Greece.
PIMLICO study identifies a number of top-performing international small and medium sized companies, which have adopted language strategies, are using them for trading purposes and, as a result, are the best at overcoming language and cultural barriers. 
The PIMLICO Promotional Project covers 27 European countries and the companies selected for final interview will be promoted as exemplar international companies in a Europe-wide campaign.
The aims of the Study are:
  • to raise awareness of the nature of language and cultural barriers in trade
  • to promote best practice amongst SMEs on how to overcome language and cultural barriers by adopting innovative practice in handling communication across borders (examples of language strategies)
  • to raise awareness of the commercial value of using language strategies and their impact on a company’s bottom-line with governments, business agencies, intermediary organizations (like chambers, regional governments etc)
  • to identify ‘magic formulas’ that SMEs can apply to improve their cross-border activity, particularly in global ‘foreign language’ markets.
