Global Leadership Assessment and Development
Do the leaders in your company possess the capabilities they need to operate effectively in our increasingly global world? Are they able to effectively adapt to conditions and settings that are different from those to which they are accustomed? How well equipped are they to adjust to the increasing volatility, uncertainty, complexity, and ambiguity (VUCA) that characterizes the world?
Leaders need specific global competencies that are important for adapting to people, situations, and cultures that are significantly different from their background and experience. The Global Competencies Inventory (GCI) helps leaders gain an increased understanding of the behaviors, values, beliefs, and practices that impact their effectiveness when interacting with people from other countries and cultures. The insights they gain can then be used to develop action plans and identify opportunities to enhance their effectiveness as a global leader.
The GCI measures three (3) Intercultural Adaptability factors encompassing sixteen (16) competencies.

Aids in selection and promotion criteria for different levels of management.
