Cultural Intelligence Training for Teams

Learn more about our Culturally Effective Teams Workshop and how CQ can impact the effectiveness of working on a Team!

the research

Research shows a direct positive correlation between cultural intelligence and team effectiveness.

Studies from across the globe have proven that a person’s level of Cultural Intelligence® is directly related to their cultural effectiveness in a diverse setting – the higher a person’s CQ, the more likely they’ll have better judgment, better decision-making, and better leadership abilities. In a team setting, employees with higher CQ are more likely to better communicate, share knowledge, and be more innovative.

Simply put, cultural intelligence enhances overall performance outcomes of diverse teams.

“CQ is a critical capability for navigating today’s increasingly global and diverse business environment…the good news is it’s entirely learned. It’s so important that we made it one of our core behaviors at PwC.” 

“We need leaders with CQ who can make connections with people who are not like them."

the cultural intelligence approach explained

Most cultural competence programs focus on teaching information about different cultures (e.g. Indians versus Germans; Millennials vs. Boomers; Marketing vs. Engineering). Cultural intelligence takes a different approach. Based on nearly 30 years of research across 100 countries, we know that there are four capabilities that need to be developed in order to relate and work effectively with teams of people from different backgrounds.

Learn more about Cultural Intelligence (CQ)

Cultural Intelligence begins with CQ Drive—the motivation and confidence needed to work well with others. Next is CQ Knowledge—understanding the kinds of differences that describe one group versus the next, without resorting to stereotyping specific cultures. Third is CQ Strategy—learning how to plan effectively and remain aware in the moment. And finally, CQ Action—being able to adapt behavior when the situation requires it.

Learn more about Cultural Values (CV)

Cultural Values (CVs) are preferences people have for how they approach life and work. We measure these values to indicate how people prefer to interact, communicate, plan, and complete tasks. By starting with an awareness of our own preferences and those of others, we can take the first step in applying our Cultural Intelligence to plan and flex accordingly.
