The Cultural Intelligence Pathway

Your journey toward Cultural Intelligence starts with the CQ Assessment.

We Help You Succeed With Cultural Intelligence

Most cultural competence programs focus on teaching information about different cultures (e.g. Indians versus Germans; Millennials vs. Boomers). Cultural intelligence takes a different approach. Based on more than 20 years of research across over 100 countries, we know that there are four capabilities that need to be developed in order to relate and work effectively with people from different backgrounds.

In order to begin your journey toward Cultural Intelligence you must first assess your capabilities in the areas of CQ Drive, CQ Knowledge, CQ Action and CQ Strategy (view image on the right for more detail).

We offer the only academically-validated CQ Assessment (developed by our founder) that has been used by individuals and organizations in over 100 countries around the world.  Our CQPro® Assessment measures the 4 factors and 13 sub dimensions of Cultural Intelligence as well as individual cultural value orientations. Our personalized feedback reports compare CQ scores with the worldwide norms, provide personal preferences on each of the 10 cultural values and include a personalized development plan.
