Our Approach
After years of research and collaboration with organizations worldwide, we’ve developed a trademark approach that creates lasting cultural shifts and a flagship framework that puts culture-building directly in your team’s hands.
The ARCH Framework
Authenticity. Respect. Communication. Hybridization.
ARCH is our flagship framework for helping teams consciously co-create a shared workplace culture built from the strengths each person brings, instead of defaulting to unexamined norms. Where most training hands your team a list of rules, ARCH gives them a method.
The Inclusive Mindset
Be Brave, Be Humble, Be Dedicated
Our Inclusive Mindset model is grounded in the research of cultural psychology, intergroup dialogue, and stereotype threat, and sharpened by the field innovation of design thinking, cultural humility, and growth mindset.
The ACE Model
ACE is how we teach everything we deliver.
Actionable
While foundational concepts are essential, all of our programs focus heavily on making concepts actionable so that the learning can affect real change.
Customized
Out of the box training doesn’t work. All of our programs and courses are constantly evaluated and adjusted to be fresh and relevant, and to reflect the needs of the specific group attending. No two workshops are identical, despite thematic similarities.
Experiential
Change requires buy-in. Our interactive approach gets people out of their silos and into the conversation. While we base our content on sound research, participants won’t be lectured to. People learn in a variety of ways and we aim to address the diversity of learning styles with a pedagogy that is creative, engaging, interpersonal and yes, even fun!

Over 1 million
Learners have taken IDG’s online courses, in 10 languages around the world.
I felt the presenters were really authentic and their advice of being brave, leaning into discomfort and being ok with making mistakes really encouraged me to take the skills they shared into my day-to-day life.
I feel more equipped to handle microaggressions, be a good ally and have less fear overall.
I’ve attended several workshops put on by different orgs but this one has helped reinforce the tools and strategies to use in an effective way. I feel more confident in approaching these issues now.
