Helping people work across cultures
Global Engagement is still with us post COVID-19
It's all different now. Yet more than ever we need intercultural skills as we communicate across cultures.
Many international borders have closed or have limited access and this world now has a heavy reliance on virtual meetings. Technology is amazingly helpful at a time like this, however more than ever, we need intercultural skills to fill the gaps and understand what is going on under the surface, how adjust our approach accordingly and build some healthy understanding on which to build business.
Successful intercultural exchange doesn't just happen
Negotiating a pathway through complex cultural issues can be daunting and led to misunderstandings and loss of business relationships, opportunities and productivity. Intercultural skills can be improved.
One of the skills you develop when growing CQ (Cultural Intelligence) is the ability to adjust and adapt.
Constant change is with us and we are showing great creativity.
Assumptions can be dangerous
Business communication around this globe has a personality of it's own and varies in cultural contexts. An individual's cultural values play a huge part in this behaviour.
It's never a good idea to assume that business gets done and that trust relationships are built across this world in the same way that we do it. Leadership principles in one cultural context may have no relevance in another. And we no doubt have some international counterparts who simply don't like doing business via online platforms.
The need for a skills based intercultural capability is even greater in our post Covid-19 world
If you're Exploring New Markets, engaged in International Sales and Marketing, Global Relocation, Leadership Development Programmes, Recruitment, Hiring and Promotion, Team Development, New Initiatives or looking at Programme Assessment, the development of intercultural capability can't be ignored.
If you'd like to improve CQ in your organisation or you're planning on doing business across cultures contact me to see how I can help you.
"Cultural Intelligence (CQ) is about being yourself and adapting to other cultures."
- Economist Intelligence Unit
"90% of leading executives from 68 countries said finding effective cross-cultural personnel is a top management challenge"
Economist Intelligence Unit
"Globalization is lunging forward with racing speed. Organizations of all sizes are crossing international borders. The work force is becoming increasingly diverse. And all indicators suggest these trends will continue for the next several decades. "
- Cultural Intelligence Center, Michigan, USA.
"In a world where crossing boundaries is routine, CQ becomes a vitally important aptitude and skill."
- Harvard Business Review
“CQ is cultural intelligence, a compelling new measure that strongly correlates with your ability to thrive in the workplace today. CQ extends beyond simply registering cultural differences; it's proven to positively impact your ability to communicate, network and lead in our culturally diverse workplaces and globalized world.”
