I have spent 20 years researching what makes international partnerships succeed ā and fail. š From cultural intelligence in multicultural teams, to identity dynamics in M&As across Mexico, Europe and China, to how national identity invisibly distorts political risk assessment in leadership teams today. The pattern is consistent: strategy breaks down at the human level. Geocultural intelligence is what allows organizations to build sustainable partnerships in a VUCA world ā adapting while maintaining agency and sense of purpose. š§ What are you observing? š¬ š Research links in comments. š CAS Leading Change in International Business, ZHAW ā starts October 2026, early bird until 30 June ā link in comments. #GeoculturalIntelligence #InternationalBusiness #LeadingChange #MergersAndAcquisitions #ZHAW
