It is a Great Discussion and Coaching Tool for both Individuals and Teams.
CQ Assessment and CQ 360 Multi Rater Assessment
This is one of the primary cross-cultural tools and the 360 Multi Rater is more significant as it confirms or contradicts personal views on cross-cultural behaviour. The 360 is a peer evaluation tool where individual feedback is measured against 5 peers.
It is more for individual coaching, but the group report can identify Team blind spots and strengths that is useful for Team Strategy.
Unconscious Bias Training and Assistance

It is also more focussed on the use of CQ to overcome Unconscious Bias and therefore a crucial Tool for Objective Diversity and Inclusivity
All services are done by A CQ Certified Comprehensive Facilitator and a CQ certified Unconscious Bias Facilitator.

Although it has strong value for Individuals in the cross-cultural space it is a significant team and coaching tool. The use of comparisons and team maps provide deeper insights in team behaviour.
