Intercultural Development Inventory®
Therese Heeg is a certified IDI® partner. The Intercultural Development Inventory® is the premier cross-cultural assessment of intercultural competence that is used by thousands of individuals and organizations throughout the world to build intercultural competence to achieve international and domestic diversity and inclusion goals and outcomes.
LifeWorks uses the Intercultural Development Inventory (IDI) to help leaders see where they are on the continuum from monocultural to intercultural.
Our team of qualified administrators for the IDI has found that the IDI, along with brief coaching, provides leaders the space and support to gain insights into their deeper selves so they can show up fully to create an environment where everyone thrives in their multiple identities.
The IDI helps create empathy for ourselves and others while also acknowledging each other’s unique history.
Why Use the IDI?

“Inclusion Stats with I” is a discussion around the importance of a positive, inclusive work environment. Starring a group of Accenture employees from diverse backgrounds, this video demonstrates that bias can appear in both expected and unexpected ways – and reminds us that each one of us has the power to make a difference. Be the one. Join the conversation.
