The future employee and the future customer are significantly different from the one we know today. Global trends are creating new and gigantic opportunities, but how equipped are today’s leaders and businesses equipped to unlock these opportunities?     Benefits of CQ: Cultural intelligence is a tool that helps leaders and their organisations to:   Appeal and engage an increasingly diverse and mobile talent pool. Understand the new and affluent customers and gain diverse market share locally and internationally. Go above and beyond compliance and CSR index to become a brand of choice.  Anoushka shares why CQ is one of the most important skills for leaders, teams, and organisations to become future-ready. She shares her 5-step framework on how to build CQ in organisations.
