LEADERSHIP & DEIB STRATEGY
Invest in your entire organization—including senior leaders and every contributor—to ensure that you are upholding standards of not just representation, but inclusion. Collaborate over three, six, or twelve months with us to build a Becoming Culturally Intelligent Diversity, Equity, Inclusion & Belonging (DEIB) Program.
We will help guide your organization in demonstrating culturally responsive behaviors through our 3-step process of Discovery, Training & Consulting, and Program Assessment.
We are a human-centered, data-driven, and fully insured small business that gets to the heart of professional matters to offer action-oriented solutions for structural and individual change. Our holistic strategy allows your organization to select the number of trainings and consultation services that meet your needs, on a flexible timeline.
How CITC’s Leadership & DEIB Strategy is Different Than Other Models
-
We are not satisfied with the one-and-done DEIB workshop model; true diversity and inclusion work takes time. We honor this process.
-
Our model is data-driven and time-tested for organizational success.
-
We will leave your organization better than we found it.
-
We empower the members of your organization to continue CI for DEIB work into the future.
OUR 3-STEP STRATEGY
DISCOVERY
STEP 1
Through our innovative first-step of the DEIB process, we will collaborate with you to assess your organization's current DEIB climate, evaluate its needs, and develop a responsive DEIB action-plan that is customized to work for you.
TRAINING & CONSULTING
STEP 2
The second-step of the diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging (DEIB) process is continuous research-based, human-centered, interactive education.
TRAINING
Over the course of your customized program, your team will become prepared for the work of developing DEIB through these offerings:
-
Community-specific workshops
CONSULTING
While we educate your organization, we also come alongside leadership to provide the following consultation services:
-
Senior leadership coaching for inclusivity
- Insights on community-specific strategies to sustain cultures of belonging
-
Development of DEIB Committees, or assistance in formation of sub-committees and employee resource groups
-
Support in recruitment and retention
-
Guidance in creating mentorship initiatives
TOOLS
-
IDI: Measure group and individual mindsets as they relate to engaging across differences through the Intercultural Development Inventory
-
Design Convo X: Strategic conversations among team members to determine action steps forward
-
Enneagram: Team building through the Culturally Intelligent Enneagram, in which we help individuals understand how they're uniquely motivated to lead and work
-
Conduct annual/biannual DEIB Culture surveys to ensure your organization is fostering atmospheres of belonging
-
Formation of accountability processes, including Cultural Intelligence Map design
PROGRAM ASSESSMENT
STEP 3
Our final step ensures your organization has reached a healthy DEIB climate. Using surveys, selected interviews, and reflective responses, CITC will evaluate the effectiveness of your customized DEIB program and use data-driven decision making to refine future curricula.
