Global Competence in Business
Success doesn’t happen by chance. It is the result of strategic planning and excellent execution. The same is true for your talent pipeline.
Develop a future-ready staff that is globally agile to take advantage of any opportunity that arises and support business needs—whenever, wherever, and with whomever.
Elevate staff human intelligence (HI) to complement the increasing use of artificial intelligence (AI). Afterall, AI doesn’t have the sensitivity to truly understand the human condition or respond with empathy and intercultural respect as a globally competent staff does!
The Global Competence Aptitude Assessment (GCAA)® helps you make data-driven decisions to enhance your staff’s capability when working across cultures.
Objective GCAA® metrics empower your learners to enhance their own global competence with our easy-to-understand and actionable insights and developmental recommendations, which are embedded in each participant’s report.
Organizations benefit from the myriad of GCAA® data applications across talent development and selection throughout the employee lifecycle—including succession planning, engaging high potentials (HIPOs), fostering global inclusion and intercultural or diverse teamwork, as well as enhancing the effectiveness of mobility—from entry levels to senior leaders.
Business Applications for the GCAA®
Building and developing a robust talent pipeline for agility across the world
Identifying gaps for strategic talent development and targeted solutions
Gauging individuals’ readiness for international projects or global teams
Developing leaders who can engage and include everyone, maximizing results
Supporting high-performing, diverse teamwork and individuals who interact with diverse populations
Preparing for global mobility or determining ROI, such as pre- and post-assignment
Benchmarking developmental journey growth
Reporting objective metrics to stakeholders
“GCAA® scores are accurate, and the report recommends areas for reflection and improvement”
“This assessment does not report self-appraisal scores based on how globally competent a person believes they are, instead the GCAA® assesses what the individual actually knows, how they are likely to behave, and their attitudes toward globally-involved situations. I also appreciate the actionable developmental recommendations to elevate global competence.”
“What a great tool! The GCAA® provides our early career high potentials with cultural awareness insight that they have not been exposed to before. It helps them determine where their gaps are so that they can begin to develop the knowledge and skills needed throughout their careers.”
“The GCAA® provides opportunity insights to retool employee development by reskilling for global competence. It is a great asset for organizations that are implementing global growth strategies.”
“The GCAA® fills a gaping hole in the current landscape of developmental tools for global talent. Avoiding the traps of the nebulous concept of ‘global mindset’ the GCAA® focuses on a more tangible competency model for holistic development. The Internal and External Readiness categories create a clear distinction between self-awareness and attitudinal factors of global competence as separate from knowledge and behavioral factors. The GCAA® is a well-structured and operationalized tool that enables nuanced development for global leaders.”
