Shift Your Organizational Culture and Inspire Cultural Change

bci leverages a range of feedback and data collection methodologies in order to provide you with an in-depth assessment of diversity and inclusion within your organization — all of which will better position you to make strategic decisions.

Make Better Diversity and Inclusion Decisions

Our diversity assessment services can be used for strategic planning purposes to provide you with a snapshot of your organization’s culture or can be combined with our training workshops and/or advisory services.

Feedback and Data Collection Methods

At bci, we use a variety of data collection tools and methods to provide leadership teams with comprehensive feedback around diversity and inclusion within their organization. Our services can be tailored to include the following:

Intercultural Development Inventory (IDI)

The IDI is a leading benchmarking diversity assessment tool that measures the cultural competence, or inclusiveness, of an individual, team or organization. bci has now administered the IDI to over 5,000 leaders and hundreds of leadership teams globally, helping them to identify key barriers to inclusion and teaching leaders how to work more effectively across cultural differences. The IDI is an essential tool for raising your leaders’ cultural competence.

One-on-One Interviews

bci’s team of diversity and inclusion assessment experts conduct confidential one-on-one interviews with select leaders and team members within an organization to learn about the lived experiences of diversity and inclusion in the workplace.

Focus Groups

Bringing together a small, targeted group from within an organization or team, focus groups are an effective way to learn about the inclusion strengths and challenges within a workplace. bci’s team of experts facilitates focus group discussions across a range of cultural groups and seniority levels.

How to Leverage bci’s Diversity and Inclusion Assessments

Our diversity assessment feedback better positions leaders to make changes to talent management practices and systems. At bci, we utilize our assessment processes in a variety of contexts with our clients.

Deep-Dive Research

Engage in interviews as part of the deep-dive process for our training workshops, enabling our facilitators to learn more about your organization and further tailor our programming to your company’s particular needs

Benchmarking

Use the IDI to get a benchmark of your leadership teams’ cultural competencies and barriers, with our team managing this process from start to finish and providing a seamless process on your end

Inclusive Analysis

Engage in interviews and focus groups as an opportunity for your leadership to learn more about the experience of inclusion within your organization and to hear voices that may not typically be heard in these discussions

AREAS OF EXPERTISE

LAND ACKNOWLEDGMENT

The bci team primarily works from lands that are part of the Dish With One Spoon Territory, a treaty between the Anishinaabe, Mississaugas, and Haudenosaunee that brought these communities together to share, serve, and protect these lands.

bci is deeply committed to honoring the spirit of this treaty, and we recognize our privilege in enjoying the benefits of these lands, which supports all that we do. We’re passionately focused on undertaking our work in alignment with the values of Truth and Reconciliation, and we actively seek to decolonize societal and workplace systems, as well as our individual behaviors.

Komal has provided one-on-one inclusion coaching to hundreds of senior leaders and brings a unique approach that is informed by her background as a psychotherapist. Using a trauma-informed lens and somatic approaches, she also has experience guiding leaders and teams in mending relationships, and rebuilding trust where harm has occurred due to inequities, intercultural conflict, value mismatches, exclusion, and psychological or geopolitical safety issues, with the goal of creating a more inclusive, resilient or organizational culture.

Komal also offers a performance coaching program designed specifically for BIPOC leaders. This program aims to help BIPOC leaders harness their place, position, and identity to thrive in the workplace and beyond. Komal is a qualified administrator of the Intercultural Development Inventory (IDI).

As a doctoral trained mental health clinician, certified health executive, and registered social worker, Komal has assisted organizations looking to advance employee mental health inclusion and well-being through offering programming on inclusive dialogue, anti-stigma, burnout prevention, psychological safety, resilience, and self-care. Komal is committed to advancing mental health and wellness across the life course; she currently serves on the board of the Alzheimer’s Society of Ontario and previously served on the board of Children’s Mental Health Ontario and the YMCA of Greater Toronto.

When Komal is not working, you’ll find her painting, cooking or snuggling with her cat.
