IRC Institute (IRCI) is a global community of business professionals with a common interest in developing practical knowledge related to leadership, management and the development of senior talent. The IRCI community is comprised of leading executives, advisers, academics and members of one of the world’s top five executive search networks, IRC Global Executive Search Partners. Our mission is to nurture a global, multidisciplinary community of emerging and established leaders and support them with the ideas, knowledge and context that promote best practices in management across national and cultural boundaries. The IRCI is committed to strengthening and broadening its reach through its interactive online platform showcasing thought provoking articles that leverage the collective experience, intellectual capital and deep relationships of our community. In 2016, IRCI launches with a series of case studies and white papers by exploring cross-cultural management as the overarching theme.
