IQ measures raw intelligence. EQ measures how socially competent you are. AQ measures adaptability in times of adversity. DQ measures digital readiness.
While IQ and EQ largely apply to individuals, AQ and DQ apply equally to individuals and the organisations they work for. Both AQ and DQ are increasingly important determinants of success.
DQ indicates the capabilities of an individual or business – reflecting the capacity to fully leverage the opportunities created by the digital revolution – and the ability to address the competitive pressures that follow.
Like IQ, EQ and AQ, DQ can be measured, improved and monitored. DQ Australia was established to help organisations and their staff to maximise their DQ, and in so doing, drive performance.
Nobel Laureate Daniel Kahneman and his co-author Amos Nathan Tversky wrote that the ‘fear of loss’ is more powerful than the prospect of gains. In the business context, the fear of falling behind competitors is more compelling than the prospect of moving ahead.
