Cultural Orientations Indicator®: Understand the Impact of Culture
The COI assesses a user’s work style and cultural preferences. The resulting recommendations can serve to bridge cultural gaps, leading to strengthened business relationships and successful initiatives. The assessment is organized into three dimensions: Interaction Style, Thinking Style, and Sense of Self. The report generates instant results and features valuable tools such as audio debriefs to aid with application of the findings. The report includes recommendations for further learning including Learning Paths, activities and resources based on the user’s cultural preferences. The COI is available in over 10 languages. Learn more about COI.
Guided Learning Paths
Learning Paths are at the core of the Cultural Navigator experience and provide a customized strategy to improve the user’s cultural agility by:
Country Guides deliver a wealth of original research into cultural norms and management customs to provide users with rich knowledge about their country of interest. Users can learn to effectively connect with colleagues abroad by educating themselves on the target cultures of their business partners, colleagues and stakeholders.
When a user has completed the COI and virtually visits a country via the Cultural Navigator, they will receive an alert on the right-hand side of each country page that displays the potential cultural gaps they may experience when working with people from the country. Selecting the gap alert will launch a detailed chart organizing those gaps by dimension.
Country Guides also provide information on the current time and weather for selected cities in each country, providing a means by which users can initiate conversations and organize meetings with their international counterparts.
