The Inclusive Cultures Accelerator is a self-guided (digital) learning experience designed to grow the Cultural Intelligence (CQ) of your organization. CQ is the ability to cross divides and thrive in multiple cultures. CQ itself provides participants with a common language and framework they can use to hold difficult conversations, learn from one another, and unlock insights which already exist within the organization. Are you ready to ignite the collective power of your organization and grow the foundations needed for its future success?

Who is it for?

Organizations who are looking to develop more inclusive cultures, which leads to greater innovation and increasingly resilient teams. Examples include:

  • When organizations are trying to get different cultures to work together to create one organization of many parts. This could be related to many things such as a merger, restructuring or as the organization becomes increasingly global
  • Helping organizations make the leap from awareness of bias and conversations around individual biases to what those individuals can do to change their behaviour and become more inclusive
  • Organizations that have encountered a real problem around differences, either internal or external
  • Where the cracks between cultures have become big enough that the organization is required to have a series of purpose-driven conversations about those differences and need a framework and common language to make these possible
