Cultural Intelligence (CQ®) is a globally recognised way of assessing and improving effectiveness in culturally diverse situations. Based on peer reviewed academic research and validity conducted across more than 100 countries.
The reason we describe it as a journey recognises the fact that there are no quick fixes to the issue of inclusion, equality, and diversity. An organisation’s culture does not change to become inclusive overnight. The Cultural Intelligence (CQ®) and inclusive leadership path is a process that leads to a clearly defined destination.
Inclusion requires a full system change for it to be meaningful and experienced. Inclusion needs to be approached and applied strategically as it’s not a naturally occurring, or an organic, performance outcome.
Our Cultural Intelligence (CQ®) and Inclusive Leadership programmes provide a framework to achieve a visible impact that makes a difference for the lives of the people you work with; and how to embed the framework into all operations and processes of your organisation.
The unique combination of Cultural Intelligence (CQ) and Inclusive Leadership offers a new, innovative approach to the inclusion agenda that is rooted in academic research and based on a clear framework.
At Above Difference, we equip leaders and organisations to move from ‘managing diversity’ to ‘leading for inclusion’. By developing CQ and Inclusive Leadership styles in individuals and organisations, we develop individual’s ability to decisively and intentionally create inclusive workplace cultures where diversity is recognised as one of the organisations greatest assets and all cultures are valued and respected.
