cultural intelligence (cq® )
CQ® research spans over 100 countries and 100,000 individuals. The research shows that an organization with high cultural intelligence is more innovative, more effective, and outperforms other organizations with low CQ®. We have identified four skills that make up Cultural Intelligence: CQ® Drive, Knowledge, Strategy, and Action.
