The Cost of Cultural Ignorance is the value lost when we assume that the behaviours, expectations and ways of working that are normal to us will work equally well everywhere.
A strategy that works in one market fails in another.
A negotiation stalls because we didn't understand where influence sits.
An initiative doesn't scale globally because it doesn't get buy-in.
A great innovation fails because the local context was not understood.
Justin's research estimates that up to $2Tn is lost by businesses every year through cultural intelligence gaps, and for most organisations, even moderate shifts in cultural intelligence and behaviours can unlock significant margin expansion.
