Intercultural Development Inventory®

Introducing the Intercultural Development Inventory® (IDI®)

Intercultural Development Inventory® is a reliable and widely used assessment tool that helps organizations around the world understand their individual, team, and overall organizational capacity for working with cultural differences. The IDI® assessment provides valuable insights that can be used to guide personal and professional development efforts.

Benefits of the IDI® Assessment

  • Increased Self-Awareness: The IDI® assessment helps individuals and teams gain a deeper understanding of their current approach to cultural differences. It helps identify areas of strength and areas for improvement.
  • Improved Communication and Collaboration: By understanding cultural differences, teams can improve communication and collaboration across cultures.
  • Enhanced Innovation: Diverse perspectives can lead to greater innovation. The IDI® helps foster an environment where these diverse perspectives can thrive.

Team-Based IDI® Assessments

The IDI® can also be used to assess entire teams. After team members complete their individual assessments, a group profile is created using anonymized data. This group profile is then reviewed and discussed during a facilitated group debrief session. Group reports can be tailored to committees, working groups, management teams, departments, and any other relevant team structures.

The IDI® Debrief Process

Following the IDI® assessment, a facilitated coaching session, known as a debrief, is conducted. This session helps participants uncover any hidden biases they may have and identify areas where they can further develop their intercultural skills. The debrief also helps individuals and teams establish goals for ongoing development.
