Inter-Cultural Intelligence (ICI) is a combination of knowledge, skills and attitudes that enable you to accurately assess, wisely take action, effectively interact, and thus successfully manage your work and your team. This means not only knowing your culture, their culture, company culture and national culture, but knowing what to do with that information, and having the competencies to think and act accordingly.
One of our strengths is that we integrate inter-cultural intelligence into all of our consulting, training and coaching initiatives, and we also build intercultural intelligence into your employees and your organizational culture.
ICI requires knowledge of yourself, of cultures and others. ICI requires attitudes - the first of which is being a cultural learner. ICI also requires skills - such as the ability to anticipate, correctly interpret and adjust to the culturally-defined behaviors of others.
ICI is the ability to deal with the reality of differing cultural blends in an innovative, meaningful and sustainable way.
