We provide research-based tools, training and assessments to build Cultural Intelligence (CQ) – the ability to relate and work effectively with diverse people.

For years, the case has been that more diversity equals improved organisational performance. But we can not expect diverse groups to work together effectively and improve performance if they lack the skills to do so.

Cultural intelligence (CQ) is the foundation and strategic link that ensures your DEI efforts lead to meaningful and sustainable results. The same holds true for any attempt to create an equitable and inclusive organisational culture.
Everyone has their own definition of DEI – the Cultural Intelligence Centre UK broadly defines it as any organisational effort to increase diverse representation and create inclusive, equitable environments. More specifically, we define each of the areas as follows:

Developing DEI cultures and organisations is a journey, not a destination. We never fully arrive because we are always learning and growing. And things are constantly changing. Yet it is still reasonable to expect positive and measurable results along the way. But you must first discover where you are on the journey. After your discovery, you need to develop and execute culturally intelligent strategies to move you along the journey. We can help.

Our DEI work focuses on partnering with organisations and educational institutions around the globe to integrate CQ into their DEI initiatives. More specifically, we facilitate evidence-based processes that support an organisation’s DEI Journey in ways that influence positive individual behaviour, systems change and overall organisational performance.

We support you in designing culturally intelligent classrooms and schools. Whether you want to assess students’ intercultural competence, improve your study abroad programme, or develop a strategy for building a culturally intelligent campus, we have a range of research-based solutions to meet your needs.

Our tools and solutions are based on more than two decades of research conducted across 100+ countries. We work with educators worldwide to provide the most robust and practical cultural awareness and intercultural learning programmes.

When we work with you and your leadership team we help you shape your DEI approach by establishing your CQ Drive, your CQ Knowledge, your CQ Strategy and your CQ Strategy.
