Benefits of Using the GCAA®
• Update to a 21st Century Global Scope
Global competence is modern update from outdated 20th century approaches, such as intercultural competence or cultural intelligence, which lack the depth needed to complement today’s AI era.
• Quantify Global Inclusion Objectively
Use a robust assessment design that overcomes bias and subjectivity, which are evident in other evaluations that are heavily reliant on Likert scale self-appraisal inputs.
• 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 Data-Driven Decisions
Focus your efforts on impact areas while saving time and money. GCAA® profile and aggregate data indicate individuals’ and groups’ current strengths and prioritize developmental needs. Use metrics to ensure future readiness with a globally agile and strategic talent pipeline. Also benefit from objective input when considering succession planning.
