Common Purpose: Cultural Intelligence Accelerator Programme
Develop your ability to cross boundaries and thrive in multiple cultures.

The CQ Accelerator will prepare you to work in global contexts and be better able to understand other cultures and suspend assumptions in unfamiliar environments.
As a result of the programme , you will become:
- more inclusive and better able to lead modern resilient teams
- better able to uncover the cultural drivers and behaviours that influence how you and others operate
- better able to embrace diversity and leverage the role it can play in innovation.
Upon successful completion of the course, you can claim the ‘Leading Across Cultures’ micro-credential to display on your LinkedIn page and in your digital backpack.
“I now feel more confident that I have the appropriate skills to work alongside people from different cultures/backgrounds/
generations to me and for that reason, I think I am more likely to thrive in future diverse environments I may find myself in.”Student, King’s Business School, Participant, CQ Accelerator
