BCRC's leadership wanted to serve its diverse community in culturally relevant ways and enable their organization, its members, and the people they serve in order to thrive and flourish in an inclusive and equitable environment.
We partnered with a Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion company, Inclusive Dynamics, to provide learning design consulting and organizational change frameworks to build intercultural competence among the staff through a series of interactive virtual workshops.
We allowed their leadership team to assess their organization for its level of intercultural competence and develop standards and expectations of organizational processes and activities so that they are aligned with leading practices. We also took the time to develop a program roadmap and a clear vision along with relationship building activities to reflect intercultural values.
By providing time to reflect and discuss cultural differences and areas of improvement, BCRC was able to identify the areas they needed to change and create an actionable plan to implement and present to their board of advisors. Through research, open dialogue, and the application of frameworks, the leadership team was able to understand how to support their diverse clients better and create a sense of connection and belonging among their team.
