Tapestry Solutions for Inclusion provides several in-depth assessments including the IDI to measure cultural competencies and the Spectra assessment to measure employee opinions of processes, policies and procedures, culture and management. Our assessments are validated and designed to be used as a baseline and to help create your strategy.
In contrast to many “personal characteristic” instruments, the IDI is a cross-culturally valid, reliable, and generalizable measure of intercultural competence along the validated intercultural development continuum (adapted, based on IDI research, from the DMIS theory developed by Milton Bennett). Further, the IDI has been demonstrated, through research, to have high predictive validity to both bottom-line cross-cultural outcomes in organizations and intercultural goal accomplishments in education.
Some cultural assessment tools measure individuals but not the entire organization. Others measure team or the organization but not the individuals. The Spectra Assessment measures both. The assessment can also provide customized demographic data.
The Energy Leadership™ Index (ELI) assessment is the proprietary, research-backed assessment tool that takes something abstract, like the way a person views the world, and turns it into something tangible—a metric that you can see and feel and even reevaluate in the future. And, it’s only available through an iPEC Certified Coach. This tool is used when we coach individuals around DEI.
