Change Post-its: Cultural Intelligence & Change
Change Post-its are ideas we come across as we scan the internet and other sources for new ideas that might assist change agents. The thinking behind this type of post is that it should contain an eclectic range of resources that take less than a few seconds to scan. Tell us what works!
Something to watch: Managing change in organizations increasingly needs to be attentive to issues of cultural diversity. Dave Thomas, Professor of International Management at SFU, argues, however, that simply possessing cross-cultural knowledge and skills is not enough. Organizations need individuals who possess “cultural intelligence” - the ability to consciously apply and adapt their cultural knowledge and skills in specific contexts. Watch Dave Thomas’s recent presentation to learn more about the “Cultural Intelligence Assessment Tool” - a web-based survey with unique cross-cultural video scenarios. Also have a look at this Globe and Mail article!
Something to watch: Unconvinced by human intelligence and cultural adaptations?.. then watch Joshua Klein’s talk on the intelligence of crows - lots of videos and a vending machine story to persuade you!
Something to read: Want to know more…..check out Cultural Intelligence: People Skills for Global Business.
