Programme Overview
As part of Global Inclusion Week (10 - 14 June 2024), our in-person learning experience highlights the pivotal role Cultural Intelligence CQ® plays in building inclusion across cultures and provides the opportunity to take a deep dive into evidence-led culture transformation.
Embedding and sustaining impactful culture transformation demands of us to be data-driven ensuring we have the insight and know-how to be effective. CQ is the strategic enabler to make this happen, giving us the knowledge and skills to enable impactful change.
Ireland’s multicultural landscape continues to evolve and if our businesses are to serve their communities in the ways they need, organisations must embrace diversity. Ireland is becoming more diverse, and with this, attitudes and actions towards differences must also change.
The most successful businesses recognise the importance of culture to organisational success. Our curated programme guides you in unleashing the power of data-driven culture transformation and takes you step-by-step through the CQ Model to effectively bridge our differences across cultures, communities, and generations.
Delivered by our CQ® Certified facilitators, this learning experience includes a CQ Assessment for each participant, mapping out their unique CQ Profile and giving insight into their cultural values and behaviours to deepen their understanding of how these impact their appetite for risk, participatory decision-making, and relationship-building.
