As an organization, we must make a

strategic decision to cultivate associates who have and display cultural intelligence inside and outside our workplace. The following proposal outlines a plan to implement cultural intelligence into our organization in order to transform our associates into global thinkers, which will differentiate us from our competitors. The proposal involves continuing our current diversity programs as well as training all associates to be culturally intelligent $($CQ$).$

As we discussed before, management and hiring practices are not solely responsible for our diversity initiative, though they must do their part. $($Click to select$)$ A major part of accomplishing this will take place through CQ training for all associates. The Cultural Intelligence Center will deliver the CQ training.

Some of the Cultural Intelligence Center's clients include Bank of America, BMW$,$ Coca$-$Cola, Google, Harvard University, IBM, Unilever, and the U$.$S$.$ Department of Homeland Security.

The $CQ$ training for our organization will involve a of each associate. This $CQ$ assessment will provide each associate with a current $CQ$ profile. During the retreat, a member of the Cultural Intelligence Center's team will lead the members of our organization through understanding their results and the importance of developing CQ$.$

In all, this approach will create culturally intelligent associates who differentiate themselves and our organization from the competition. By placing a strategic focus on creating an organization with high $CQ,$ we will truly create a transformation in CoB Associates.
