About

Cultural Intelligence (CQ®) isn’t just about understanding differences—it’s about building deeper connections and driving meaningful outcomes. Since 2004, The Cultural Intelligence Center has helped leaders and teams confidently navigate cultural complexity, leading to stronger collaboration, sharper innovation, and more impactful leadership.

Our Founders

Dr. David Livermore and Dr. Linn Van Dyne co-founded the Cultural Intelligence Center with a shared mission: to empower individuals and organizations to thrive in an increasingly diverse world through the science of Cultural Intelligence (CQ®). Their pioneering research, including the development and validation of the CQ® Scale, laid the groundwork for CQ® as a globally recognized framework for navigating cultural complexity. Drawing on decades of academic leadership, hands-on experience, and global impact, from Fortune 500 companies and government agencies to universities and NGOs, they translated rigorous research into practical, actionable strategies. They continue to guide the CQ® Center’s long-term vision and research agenda, advancing the global impact of Cultural Intelligence.
