Presentation
Back in the Business of Business Intelligence: Strategic Leadership and Cultural Intelligence
Information Management Evolution Conference
(2013)
Abstract
The legal sector has struggled due to turbulent market conditions and law firms have closely examined their firm performance, management, and leadership to determine how to survive. The once quiet sector is now a sea of challenging times with the business of law changing. As such, there is an increased need for cultural competency among law firm professionals in order for firms to succeed in a multicultural, globalized environment. One opportunity for law firms to consider is integration of cultural intelligence (CQ) into their firm strategy in order to understand their environment and position for change.
In this session, we will:
· Identify the new normal that law firms are facing and its impact on leadership.
· Examine what is cultural intelligence and determine your own CQ level.
· Provide examples of how to enhance your CQ capabilities.
· Make a business case for exposing firms to CQ in order to apply it within your environment, in cross-functional teams, in hiring and decision-making processes.
