Course Rationale
In today’s diplomatic world, protocol has become a sophisticated and strategic asset. The protocol guides how we behave socially and interact in specific situations. This positively impacts how people live and work together with less friction caused at a time by barriers in the social-cultural environment in which we operate. Traditionally protocol tended to have a narrow definition and therefore was classified as of operational rather than strategic significance.
In today’s world, protocol is more than escorting visitors and other of persons of precedence in the government and corporate world, it enables people of diverse backgrounds and social orientations to manage today’s complex and cosmopolitan world with ease and finesse. A well -executed event creates a lasting and positive impression on the audience and motivates them to relate in a cordial manner in future.
