IDI LLC actively works with a variety of organizations in using the IDI for team and organizational assessments and research (e.g., The World Bank, American Field Service, St. Rose of Lima church, Georgetown University, the University of Tampa).
Dr. Hammer's work with American Field Service (AFS), for example, resulted in one of the most comprehensive assessments conducted in the past twenty-five years on international educational exchange-2100 respondents from nine different countries and six languages.

- An analysis template that insures the results obtained provide solutions to the questions or problems identified
- A set of recommendations and action steps based on the findings from the study such that the assessment truly "makes a difference" in the organization
