Cultural Intelligence (CQ): Unlock the Potential of your Organisation’s Diversity
Unlock diversity: Cultivating cultural intelligence
Spark innovation, improve communication, and accomplish organisational goals by developing cultural intelligence (CQ) across your team.
Australia is one of the world’s most culturally diverse countries. Over 30% of our population were born overseas and almost 50% have one parent who immigrated. Is your organisation tapping into the power of that diversity? This course will help you plan, ideate and communicate—both internally and externally—for increased understanding, inclusion, open-mindedness, and connection. Through real case studies, you will apply cultural intelligence concepts to improve collaboration, build strong relationships, and interrogate biases. Ideal for all staff and leaders, this set of interpersonal knowledge and skills will give your organisation a progressive, dynamic edge.
