What is CultureFlex?
CultureFlex is the practical application of CQ in real-world situations. CN's CultureFlex tool helps you practice this application through workplace scenarios, helping you measure and develop adaptive strategies for cross-cultural collaboration.
When you compare your Worldprism profile to another person or to a country, you’ll see immediately that there are significant differences. And when you have a cultural difference you have several options – you can ignore it, try to adapt to it, find a compromise, create a ‘third way’ or insist the other person adapt to your style. And all five of these adaptive strategies are equally valid depending on the context and the exact situation.
CultureFlex is a function of cultural intelligence (CQ) – it is a measure of how well someone recognizes cultural difference and selects an appropriate adaptive strategy which increases inclusion and collaboration.
CultureFlex is the practical application of CQ in real-world situations. It is a measure of how well you use your cultural intelligence to resolve the cultural dilemmas you come across each day.
As part of Country Navigator’s CQ eco-system, CultureFlex is a way of determining your CQ growth. Using our unique CultureFlex tools, you can track the extent to which you are developing as a global worker. Just tell the tool what you want to do – which skill you want to work on, and who you want to work with and the system will generate a scenario based on your Worldprism and the skill you’ve chosen.
You’ll be asked to write how you would act in that situation and you’ll be scored by how you recognize the cultural difference, how you adapt and how you recognize the difference cultural intelligence brings. This revolutionary tool will help you measure how your cultural intelligence is growing.
