Alumna Lucy Butters (MA 1992 and MPhil 1995), is now one of ten cultural intelligence master facilitators in the world, supporting individuals and organisations be more inclusive and internationally effective and successful.

In November her new book Cultural Intelligence in Practice was published, with a book launch celebration in Glasgow, which is celebrating it’s 850th anniversary as a city of many cultures.

Whether you talk about global leadership, intercultural competence or inclusion, one essential capability sits at the heart of it all: cultural intelligence. Lucy brings together insights from 11 experts around the world who use cultural intelligence to support professional development. Their stories, tips and experiences, combined with Lucy’s own perceptive observations, offer a truly global perspective on how to understand, build and apply cultural intelligence.

Baroness Wendy Alexander (alumna MA 1986) says: “If you read one book on cultural intelligence, make it this one. Lucy Butters distills the wisdom of the world’s cultural intelligence experts to offer a practical guide to securing lasting change across communities and continents.”
