THE CHALLENGE THIS SOLVES
 
We want to build a shared language for cultural difference before committing to a full program. Our people have no common framework, no shared vocabulary, and no data on where cultural friction is coming from.

What changes

Five outcomes the program is designed to produce
WHERE GLOBAL TEAMS ARE TODAY

Frequently asked questions

faqs-icon What is cultural intelligence?

Cultural intelligence (CQ) is the ability to work well with people whose cultural norms differ from yours. It shapes how you communicate, make decisions, give feedback and build trust. Unlike a personality trait, it's a skill you can measure and improve.

 
faqs-icon How can I improve my cultural intelligence?

Start by understanding your own cultural preferences, then practice adjusting them in real situations. This program does both. You complete a personal cultural profile, then learn a simple method for adapting your approach before misunderstandings happen.

 
faqs-icon Who is this program for?

Anyone who works with colleagues, clients or partners from other cultures. No previous training is needed. It's also the starting point for all our other programs, so many organizations roll it out to everyone first.

 
faqs-icon Can we focus the training on a specific country?

Yes. Add a Country Briefing to focus on any of more than 100 countries. It's useful before entering a new market, starting a partnership or meeting an important client.
