Preparing for success in different cultures
For those in cross-cultural work, the preparation that happens before relocation can be key to your success and minimise the risk of relocation failure. That’s where the GoCulture assessment and system can help support you no matter what stage of the process you find yourself.
The GoCulture Assessment (GCA©) identifies your Cultural Readiness Indicators, composed of 16 intercultural relocation factors, and the 4 Approach Style Indicators. Together, this precise instrument predicts task, relationship, and cultural adaptation for individuals moving to a new culture either domestically or internationally. These profiles strategically reduce cultural relocation failure and improve relocation performance. This tool, coupled with our strategic coaching information, minimizes uncertainty and risk — a real safety net in strategic planning. Used in 30 countries, the GCA system works.
