Facilitated Training

IBIS offers instructor-led training programs focused on awareness, skill building, and effective management of Diversity and Inclusion and bridging cultural gaps in the workplace.

Customized to meet the priorities of the organization and the roles of the participants, our training programs are highly interactive, fast-paced and thought-provoking. We use a mix of methodologies, including presentation of models and frameworks, case studies, experiential exercises, interactive theater, large and small group dialogue, videos, role plays and skill practice.

We use the model of “head, heart and hands” in designing our trainings.

Head:

Cognitive learning. It is crucial that program participants truly understand the business case for diversity, definitions of common terms, and a range of theories and models.

Heart:

Emotional intelligence. This element includes self-reflection and the development of empathy.

Hands:

Tools. The development and application of tools, which include skill practice and metrics-based action planning, are part of what makes the outcome of an IBIS partnership so uniquely sustainable.

THE F.L.E.X. MODEL

IBIS developed a unique learning model that illustrates our approach to leveraging diversity and fostering inclusion. We incorporate this F.L.E.X. framework into our D&I consulting and training solutions.
