ICQ

Frequently asked

What does a strategic management consultant do?

A strategic management consultant helps leadership define direction, decide priorities, and build the plan and alignment to execute. ICQ pairs that with cultural intelligence — because most strategies fail where people, communication, and culture meet.

How is ICQ different from other management consulting firms?

Our methodology integrates strategic planning with cultural intelligence, built on three decades of consulting across Asia and North America. Strategy that ignores culture stalls in execution; we design for both from day one.

Do you work with companies in West Palm Beach and Boca Raton?

Yes — ICQ has served Palm Beach County since 2014 and is based in Boca Raton, inside the Polo Club and at 980 North Federal Highway. We work with organizations across West Palm Beach, Palm Beach County, Miami, Fort Lauderdale, and greater South Florida.

What size organizations do you work with?

From growing companies and family businesses to international organizations, nonprofits, and institutions. Engagements are scoped to the organization and the decision at hand, not a headcount minimum.

Do you work remotely or in person?

Both. Our team is international and works remotely or on-site across Asia and North America — and meets clients in Singapore, Kuala Lumpur, Toronto, New York, and Miami.

What is the Cultural Intelligence (CQ) assessment?

A measurable assessment of how effectively people relate and work across nationalities, ethnicities, and cultures. ICQ proctors CQ assessments with corporations and implements solutions based on the results.

How do we get started?

Request a strategic consultation. We'll discuss your goals, assess where strategy, leadership, and culture are costing or compounding value, and lay out a plan.
