ODE Consulting helps leaders master critical global leadership and cross-cultural competencies. With the use of our unique tool, “Culture in the Workplace QuestionnaireTM ” (CWQTM), participants uncover in-depth insights of cultural preferences at an individual and team level.

1. “Leadership beyond Cultures”
The American Management Association (AMA) in their 2012 Survey on Global Leadership Development identified
10 critical future competencies for leaders; 6 of which relate to cross-cultural leadership, namely -
 managing virtual teams
 cross-cultural employee engagement
 managing innovation in a cross-cultural setting
 collaboration with peers from multiple countries
 applying ethical standards in multiple countries
 multi-country supply chain management.
ODE & ITAP International Alliance
Our partnership with ITAP International, in association with Geert Hofstede (thought leader in working across
cultures and author of “Cultures and Organizations - Software of the Mind”) puts ODE Consulting in the forefront
today, to help leaders master these critical global leadership and cross-cultural competencies and in turn,
be able to leverage cross-cultural leadership as an asset and business advantage.
Organizations today expect leaders to have a global mindset - the ability to lead effectively in different cultures,
understand how to deal with people and businesses in different parts of the world; and have the ability to open and
grow new global markets.
Leaders working in such organizations, realize that their critical need is to acquire cross-culture and global
leadership competencies in order to optimize performance and return-of-investments for the organizations that
they work in.
