Benefits of Using the GCAA®
• Use a 21st Century Approach
Measure global competence with a state-of-the-art instrument grounded in original worldwide research. Global competence is a paradigm shift away from outdated 20th century intercultural competence approaches, which are neither practical nor relevant in today’s omni-migrational society and global economy.
• Quantify Global Readiness Objectively
Determine people’s likelihood for effectiveness and identify developmental opportunities. The GCAA® objectively measures global competence using a sophisticated test design that avoids the subjectivity and biases of commonly used self-appraisal survey-style evaluations.
• Receive Actionable, Targeted Metrics
Receive easy-to-interpret and specific intelligence instantly, including scores for Overall Internal and External Readiness, as well as scores for all the researched dimensions of global competence. GCAA® participants receive immediate feedback in a clear, self-guided report. Assessment administrators receive detailed group scores in real-time, allowing for an instantaneous, focused response. Delayed or personally shared reporting is also available as desired.
• Make Fact-Based Decisions
Focus your efforts on impact areas while saving time and money. GCAA® profile and aggregate data indicate individuals’ and groups’ s likelihood for effectiveness on intercultural, international, or global projects or assignments. It is easier to strategize and budget for development activities as the GCAA® objectively recommends an individual's developmental opportunities against researched global workforce aptitudes. A GCAA® profile also assists with selection decisions and succession planning, as it indicates people's current global readiness.
