INTRODUCING
INCLUSION ACADEMY LIVE (beta)
Exceptional Diversity Equity and Inclusion Training. Live. Online.
At Inclusion Design Group, we’re building the future of DIBE+ training.
Our sophisticated, proven approach is now available to anyone, anywhere.
Lead your people, lead your industry.
There’s no getting around it: we’re living in a world of ambiguity, cultural divisiveness and market volatility. And all the well-intentioned one-offs and half-fixes just won’t cut it when we’re faced with deep, structural issues.
Leaders need a simple, sustainable and scalable solution for building a thriving work environment that transforms diversity from a mere exercise in representation into an asset for unstoppable success.
It’s never been so simple and so effective to transform an organization.
How Inclusion Academy Live (beta) Works
No matter your size, budget or location, we’ve got you covered in just 3 steps.
1. Subscribe
Whether a single learner or hundreds, our flexible, scalable subscription model is based on the size of your organization or learning cohort. Starting at just $25/mo.
2. Learn
We offer a constantly growing & rotating roster of live courses, led by our renowned DIBE+ instructors. Delivered in our trademark style, our content is always fresh, relevant and engaging for attendees participating in real-time discussions and exercises. Choose classes that best meet your company’s needs and schedules.
3. Sustain
Sustainability is essential for transformation. With new classes added all the time, and our value-packed follow-up sustainability guides, you will always be supported as you keep learning, practicing new habits and maintaining commitments made.
The IAL Experience
Our ever-growing roster of live classes are bundled into Learning Paths to help you choose the ones that work best for you and your organization. Every new class we add will be included and available to you with your subscription.
Flexibility
Our tiered subscription model, selection of time slots for a variety of schedules or our growing library of courses allow us to meet you where you are and provide the tools and support you need to create a more inclusive work culture.
Effectiveness
Our courses are designed to do much more than simply provide educational content. Our trainers are highly engaging and skilled in facilitating open discussions, fostering an environment of self-accountability, and encouraging ongoing action for real change.
Sustainability
You’ll have access to a large supply of courses from the moment you subscribe, with new courses added all the time, follow-up sustainability guides from our knowledgeable facilitators and the option to add-on custom scenario practices that make your DIBE+ efforts sustainable for the long term.
Special Bonus
We regularly create keynotes and webinars that respond to major events, and mark the importance of a particular cause, cultural moment or holiday.
These special online events are included and available to all our subscribers as part of the IAL Experience.
Optional Add–On
Customized Scenario Practice Sessions
Inclusion Academy Live (beta) subscribers have the option to add on customized, exclusive scenario practice sessions to deepen the work we do in our live classes with practical applications in your day-to-day roles.
We gather real scenarios from stakeholders in your organization and from other participants and use them as a basis for skills practice and discussion. These sessions are a great follow up to our course modules and provide an opportunity to reinforce and reconnect the learning to practice.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is there a certificate of completion?
We can absolutely provide attendees with a certificate upon completing a course with us. That said, we generally don’t. We feel this work is similar to creativity, excellence or personal growth. One would never say “we’re excellent now, we can stop!” While we do love the feeling of accomplishment gained from completing a workshop with us, the reality is this work is continuous.
Are there concrete actions presented during the workshops?
One of our operational principles is “actionable” which means we will provide you with specific actions that may be used the moment you leave one of our workshops. We also provide an Action Guide to accompany each one of our IAL workshops so that you can keep track of the tools we offer and the personal commitments you made to move forward on your DEI journey.
HOW DO WE KEEP THE LEARNING ALIVE AFTER THE CONTENT HAS BEEN DELIVERED?
Sustainability is very important to us. We know from years of experience that making a real impact in this work depends a lot on keeping the learning front and center, 4 weeks later, 8 weeks later, and 12 weeks later. And ultimately until you are creating new habits and reinforcing a new culture on your team. To this end, we send out new sustainability guides every month for three months with reminders about the commitments made during the session, personal and team activities, great articles to read and other content to engage in to keep the learning alive and up to date.
HOW IS INCLUSION ACADEMY LIVE (beta) DIFFERENT FROM YOUR OTHER OFFERINGS?
Inclusion Academy Live is a subscription-based membership for your employees which provides access to a variety of live interactive classes on a regularly scheduled rotation.
WHO WILL BE INCLUDED IN EACH SESSION?
Each session will be led by our experienced facilitators. Attendees will be a mix of employees from our subscribed companies, allowing for honest conversations both with colleagues and with those who have an outside perspective.
FOR THE CUSTOMIZED SCENARIO PRACTICE SESSIONS, IS THERE AN ATTENDEE CAP?
For the sake of inclusion, yes there is certainly a “sweet spot” when it comes to these highly-interactive and experiential sessions. We do find that with a higher number of participants, those who are less extroverted are less likely to participate fully. Additionally, logistically and with time constraints, a smaller group is more beneficial.
WHAT IF OUR ATTENDEES HAVE ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS AFTER A SESSION REGARDING THE CONTENT?
Since our workshops are live, we always reserve time for Q&A prior to the close of each session. Attendees are also welcome to ask lingering questions in the next session they attend.
Our customers love what we do
The speaker was excellent, very engaging and provided a safe environment to learn and share.
I feel more comfortable having hard conversations with my direct reports and generally feel more comfortable that the whole org is operating from a similar foundation.
Super enlightening and gives me a better perspective on how to better interact with my peers.
