CELL-MET and the NSF strive to cultivate a culture that encourages collaboration, flexibility, and fairness to enable individuals to contribute to their full potential and further retention.
CULTURAL INTELLIGENCE – An Overview
CULTURAL INTELLIGENCE, or CQ, is a globally recognized way of assessing and improving effectiveness for culturally diverse situations. It’s rooted in rigorous, academic research conducted by scholars around the world. Leading organizations in business, education, government, and healthcare are adopting CO as a key component of personnel development and competitive advantage.
Research demonstrates several consistent results for individuals and organizations that improve CQ, including:
✓ More Effective Cross-Cultural Adaptability and Decision-Making
✓ Enhanced Job Performance
✓ Improved Creativity and Innovation
✓ Increased Profitability and Cost-Savings
The cultural intelligence model and tools are uniquely suited to support the development of students, faculty, and staff members to lead in culturally diverse organizations.
