Summary
In this episode, Trisha interviews Chika Miyamori, Chief Culture Officer at Ideal Leaders and founder of CQ Lab in Japan, whose lifelong mission is building bridges across differences and turning them into power. What happens when a strong organisational culture becomes its own blind spot? Chika draws on her corporate career spanning Suntory, HP, and GE across more than 50 nationalities, weaving together CQ, the Hofstede cultural dimensions, and the Intercultural Development Inventory (IDI) into a powerful integrated approach — and explores what it truly takes for organisations to move from merely managing differences to thriving with them.
