Driven by diversity
CQPH (Cultural Intelligence Philippines) connects the world to the Filipino soul. We deliver solutions by creating programs—curated cultural immersions, publicly-run urban adventures, and specialized consulting services—that take you on modern-day voyages of discovery.
What is CQ, and why is it important?
CQ (cultural intelligence or cultural quotient) is the measure of a person’s capacity to function effectively across cultures, both in terms of professional and personal relationships.
The Philippines has globalized from an agrarian supplier to the Asian regional headquarters of almost every conglomerate in the world. The country’s societal and professional landscape is so diverse—whether they are fellow countrymen from another local province or expatriates from a different continent altogether—that everyone is required the ability to thrive in a multicultural environment. A low CQ is an unnecessary disadvantage you can’t afford.
