We are certified to use the following tools in our work with organizations:
Strength Deployment Inventory (SDI), which is a valid and reliable tool for managing conflict and improving relationships. It is based on the theory of Relationship Awareness — a learning model for identifying and understanding the motivation behind behavior.
Intercultural Effectiveness Scale (IES), a tool developed specifically to evaluate the competencies critical to interacting effectively with people who are from cultures other than our own: continuous learning, interpersonal engagement and hardiness. The competencies assessed by the IES are equally applicable to evaluating how well people work effectively with people who are different from them (gender, generation, ethnic group, religious affiliation, and so forth).
Global Competencies Inventory (GCI), a tool which presents an assessment of and strategies to improve the likelihood to work effectively in an environment where there are cultural norms different from one’s own. The tool focuses on the following three aspects of intercultural adaptability: perception management, relationship management and self management.
We incorporate elements of Emotional Intelligence and Diversity (Gardenswartz, Rowe, Cherbosque) in much of our work as it gives a road map for cultivating emotional intelligence and focuses on the following four areas: affirmative introspection, self governance, intercultural literacy and social architecting.
