Lisa Koss Is Certified in Cultural Orientation Indicator Online Tool for Facilitators
January 17, 2008
International Advantage LLC today announced that Lisa Koss, founder and principal, has been certified in a tool called the Cultural Orientation Indicator by the TMC Corporation. This online tool is designed to help build cultural competence in the workplace.
“In global business, an understanding of sensitivity to culture commands an increased amount of managerial attention and resources,” said Lisa Koss, principal, International Advantage. “Global leaders and managers are expected to demonstrate competency in cultural effectiveness. Most organizations have yet to confront the complex issue of culture and the need to leverage culture to establish and maintain a competitive advantage, and leaders have lacked a reliable database and approach that can help in the development of specific business and management applications. I will be able to use the COI tool, along with my other tools and methods, to serve my clients as they grapple with leadership and change within a culturally diverse environment.”
