Diverse Leaders in Tech - Cracking the Culture Code
summary
Claims that matter: a four-step Cultural Intelligence model—drive, knowledge, strategy, action—and concrete interventions: training, assessments, and a DEI scan with baseline metrics tied to attrition, hiring and promotion. Real example of integration after an acquisition into an 85% Indian‑heritage company, plus use of the Culture Map’s eight dimensions for feedback and trust differences (task vs relationship). Outcomes reported: increased awareness, measurable baselines, and behavioral change programs deployed.
