Global and Intercultural Fluency

What is Global/Intercultural Fluency?

Global/intercultural fluency is now one of the most valued skills among the increasingly globalized workplace. Research done by the British Council about the importance of culture at work shows the real business value and benefits of staff who have the ability to work with other individuals and organizations from different cultural backgrounds. Employers have highlighted the importance of demonstrating respect for other cultures and having the ability to understand different cultural contexts as a path to success.

“We believe always as educators, and as scholars, that we grow from interaction with others,” said Sri Zaheer, dean of the Carlson School of Management at the University of Minnesota. “We grow from ideas from working off the developments of others. That’s how knowledge advances.”

“We’re not just concerned about a particular country or a particular state,” she added. “We are concerned about our impact on society and our impact on the world. And the only way we can do it is through better collaboration.”
