An Intercultural Counsel provides advice to organizations and individuals on matters arising from cultural differences of all kinds, be they differences most closely related to nationality, locality, ethnicity, race, religion, gender, sexual orientation, age, profession or role, etc., as human culture is essentially multi-layered. The cultural diversity knowledge base includes observed differences in organizational cultures, but does not include differences in individual personalities. The descriptive approach is comparative, applying several different theoretical frameworks developed by intercultural researchers over the last half century to deal with an infinitely complex field. The objective of such research and the expertise arising from it is to become more aware of such differences and their nature and consequences, and then use the awareness achieved to transfer the knowledge to others, explain events or situations, to minimize or mitigate any conflicts arising from interactions involving cultural differences, and to develop personal, group and organizational intercultural competencies to increase personal performances and collaborative processes and results.
