Bilingual Solutions was founded in 2009 by Tina Nkobi
and Alexandra Jandausch. They have assisted clients in
creating high-end instructional design solutions and
trainings on intercultural and leadership development.
Mechthild Mueller joined the team in 2016. Collectively,
they have over 25 years of training and development
experience in higher education, government, healthcare,
automotive, IT, chemical, steel, and the service centre
industry. They provide insight on trends impacting
organisations related to intercultural trainings and
international leadership development.
Using their academic and professional background
in psychology, andragogy, cognitive science, and
instructional design, the company’s founders have
developed an innovative evidence-based training
programme that highly impressed the iStudy judges.
Their evidence-based methodologies – including
intentional change theory and cognitive behaviour
modification theory –works on all three levels of
learning: cognitive, affect and behaviour. By including
the learners’ cultural norms, values, and beliefs and
teaching them the metacognitive skills necessary to
understand how their own cultural baseline affects their
thoughts, feelings, and actions, the programme allows
them to change behaviour consciously and intentionally.
The main goal of the programme is to help learners
become more open-minded and flexible as individuals to
help them to develop intercultural competencies beyond
the training as autonomous learners.
