While our world is becoming increasingly more interconnected through cyberspace and international airports, success in global business requires more than a passport and a plane ticket. Success in global business is a function of people – those with an ability to operate effectively in intercultural and multicultural situations—people with cultural agility.

Presented by Paula Caligiuri, Distinguished Professor in the International Business and Strategy group at Northeastern University’s D’Amore-McKim School of Business, a leading expert in strategic human resource management and author of the book “Cultural Agility: Building a Pipeline of Successful Global Professionals,” this webinar will describe what cultural agility is (and isn’t) and offer various ways HR leaders can help develop a pipeline of culturally agile professionals within their organizations.
