The purpose is to assess the current state of your organization’s culture and operations. We assess what’s working, gaps, and potential levers for improvement to inform the next steps towards achieving your ideal organizational culture and goals.
As part of each assessment, you receive a comprehensive report that could inform the development of a strategic and/or action plan. This report could also serve as a baseline to track progress over time.
Strategic Plan — Developing a sound strategic plan is a powerful tool that carefully considers the components needed to achieve the organizations’ “ideal”. Ensuring alignment of vision, mission, areas of work, values, and key structures and priorities.
Action Planning — Articulating the specific steps, resources, timeline, metrics, and tasks needed to achieve specific goals.
We support committees and groups of all kinds in achieving their goals. Whether forming a new group or enhancing the effectiveness of an existing one, we help establish norms, decision-making processes, priorities, and clear roles and responsibilities. Additionally, we offer workshops and training to equip members with the knowledge and skills needed to fulfill their purpose effectively and appropriately. This includes support for caucus groups, employee resource groups (ERGs), communities of practice, leadership development groups, board committees, and more.
Effective change starts with clear, intentional communication. We help organizations craft messaging that fosters trust, aligns teams, and guides employees through transitions with clarity and confidence. Whether you're rolling out a new initiative, restructuring, or shifting workplace culture, we ensure your communications are strategic, inclusive, and action-oriented—so your people feel informed, engaged, and empowered every step of the way.
We help organizations refine and optimize the rollout of programs, initiatives, and toolkits to ensure they are aligned with their purpose and effectively implemented in real-world contexts. By refining processes, adjusting communications, and ensuring monitoring and evaluation strategies are practical and impactful, we make sure initiatives are not just well-designed but also successfully adopted. Using an intercultural lens, we tailor strategies to different cultural and geographic contexts, ensuring localization that meets the needs of diverse communities while staying true to the program’s goals.
Accountability is essential for a healthy workplace, but too often, organizations rely on reactive, punitive approaches that create fear rather than foster growth. We help organizations design accountability policies and trainings that equip staff with the tools they need to take responsibility for harm and negative impacts—without shame or defensiveness.
Using a developmental approach, we move beyond reward-and-punishment models to cultivate a culture where accountability is seen as a skill, not a threat. Our work focuses on:
Clear, actionable accountability policies that set expectations for repair and growth.
Training staff and leadership in practical strategies for acknowledging harm, making amends, and rebuilding trust.
Creating systems of support so individuals feel resourced to take accountability in ways that strengthen relationships rather than sever them.
When accountability is approached with care and intention, it transforms workplace culture—reducing fear, strengthening teams, and ensuring that challenges become opportunities for learning and repair rather than sources of division.
Intercultural competency isn’t just about working across national or linguistic differences—it’s also about navigating the diversity of lived experiences, backgrounds, and conditioning within communities, organizations, and teams. Without an intentional approach, organizations risk overlooking the nuanced ways that power, privilege, and cultural perspectives shape collaboration, decision-making, and leadership.
We help organizations embed intercultural competencies into hiring, development, and career growth so that working effectively across differences becomes a core way of operating rather than an afterthought. Our structured approach ensures that these skills are clearly defined, measurable, and woven into every stage of the employee experience.
Our process includes:
Defining role-specific intercultural competencies and integrating them into job descriptions to clarify expectations from the start.
Embedding competencies into hiring processes—including interview questions, structured interview guides, and scorecards—to ensure a fair and transparent selection process.
Building professional development pathways that outline the competencies required to excel in a current role while also mapping out the skills needed for future career progression. Not all competencies are required for all roles, and we help organizations identify which ones are needed at which levels to ensure employees have a clear and equitable roadmap for growth.
By systematically incorporating intercultural competencies into your hiring and professional development structures, we ensure that inclusive leadership, cultural fluency, and adaptability are not just values but measurable skills that support an equitable and effective workplace.
We provide one-on-one and small group coaching to address challenges and situations that arise in the workplace. Individuals, due to their roles ore experiences within the organization, may feel isolated and could benefit from the support of an outside expert.
Coaching sessions are confidential, providing a space for open dialogue and non-judgemental support tailored to the outcomes clients aim to achieve
We design interactive workshops that create space for participants to learn, share knowledge, and develop practical strategies. Through engaging discussions and hands-on practice, we equip teams with the confidence and tools to navigate workplace challenges effectively. Whether you’re looking for a structured session from our existing offerings or a custom-designed experience, we tailor workshops to meet your organization’s unique needs.
