ICAD - InterCultural Competence Assessment and Development
The Intercultural Competence Profile (ICP) is an online tool that provides an overall assessment of your current intercultural competence,
showing your approach to dealing with cultural differences. ICAD stands for InterCultural Competence and Development. This is the combination of training workshops and learning processes based on the ICP tool.
Unlike other competence tools, the ICP does not focus on a single basic area of cultural knowledge or behavior, but addresses the complete spectrum from cross-cultural awareness through to the business benefits deriving from effective action in intercultural situations. Based on Trompenaars Hampden-Turner methodology and philosophy, we distinguish four aspects of Intercultural Competence:
1. Recognition: How competent is a person to recognize his/her own cultural assumptions and those of others around him or her?
2. Respect: How capable is a person of appreciating perspectives other than his/her own?
3. Reconciliation: How competent is a person to reconcile different perspectives?
4. Realization: How competent is a person in realizing the necessary actions to implement the reconciliation of cultural differences?
