Employees working across cultures and in diverse cultural environments need more than just facts and figures.

More than the dos and don'ts of working with people of different cultures.

It has become increasingly clear that a change in behavior is the fundamental element in creating successful intercultural environments.

Intercultural competence is the ability to work across cultures with an understanding of communication and working styles resulting in style shift in behavior and attitude.

The Cross-Cultural Adaptability Inventory

The Cross-Cultural Adaptability Inventory (CCAI) is an assessment tool used to address one’s ability to adapt to a new culture.

This tool is designed to respond to practical concerns which are often found in culturally diverse and intercultural environments.

At the core of the CCAI, is the well-researched individual self-assessment instrument.

This tool helps individuals identify their current strengths and weaknesses within four critical skill areas important for effective intercultural communications and interactions.

These include:

Emotional Resilience
Flexibility/ Openness 
Perceptual Acuity
Personal Autonomy
