The cultural competence & inclusion gap-analysis approach
Are you looking for a tool that can assess your organization's current cultural-competency challenges? Want to save money on conducting an assessment? Can't find an easy-to-use assessment tool? Want to relate your results directly to training and policy needs? If your answer is yes to any of these, you'll find DTUI's Organizational Inclusion Assessment (OIA) system a useful resource.
Proven
A well-tested diversity benchmark tool
The OIA Toolkit has been used repeatedly, with survey items refined over time through statistical analysis to increase validity (the items assess what they're meant to) and reliability (consistent results from one situation to the next).
One university's inclusion-assessment results were so impressive that the lead was invited to present them at a 2007 higher-education assessment conference.
Inclusion stage
Identify your organization's inclusion stage & cultural competence
Unlike most tools, the OIA identifies your organization's stage of inclusion using our proprietary developmental model — so you know where you are, the competence gaps to address, and the interventions to move to higher stages. Data from four methods converge to determine your overall stage.
