CULTURAL INTELLIGENCE, or CQ, is a globally recognized way of assessing and improving effectiveness in culturally diverse situations and in project management. There are studies that demonstrate that project managers with high cultural intelligence can quickly adapt their management style in order to handle issues raised from multicultural background.

Do you train, develop and apply cultural intelligence in project management?
Do you consider that inserting this intelligence in the basket of soft skills of a project manager is increasingly important in this globalized world?

Vincent,

I agree with you , this was just way of emphasize the question, in today's world even national projects has multi-cultural teams, and than there are other differences that you have to take in account like gender , religion, sexual orientation. But in this question I resolved to put the focus in culture.

Alexandre,

Embracing other cultures is very enriching in the workplace or in private life. Some organizations choose to integrate it with other cultures for an enriched culture some don't, I think it is part of their culture. The country of origin might make a difference!
