The IDI Qualifying and Advanced Seminars and the actual sales of the IDI instrument are directly managed for Dr. Hammer by the Intercultural Communication Institute (ICI) which is located in Portland Oregon. Please contact ICI directly with any questions related to the IDI seminars or sales of the inventory.

::IDI Qualifying Seminars

You can directly use the IDI by attending the IDI Qualifying Seminar jointly conducted by Dr. Hammer. In order to use the IDI effectively and appropriately, individuals need to attend an intensive, three day IDI Qualifying Seminar (IDIQS). The IDI Qualifying Seminar is currently offered throughout the year in Portland, Oregon, Minneapolis, Minnesota, Baltimore, Maryland and also in various locations in Asia and Europe.

Currently, there are over 1300 Qualified IDI Administrators who are actively using the IDI with thousands of profit, nonprofit, educational and government organizations. These individuals attended the IDI Qualifying Seminar and are engaged in cutting-edge coaching, teambuilding, needs analysis, program evaluation and research efforts that incorporate the IDI as a primary assessment tool. For more information on who is currently using the IDI, contact the Intercultural Communication Institute or email them directly at idi@intercultural.org.

::IDI Advanced Seminars

There are 3 advanced seminars: IDI Coaching; IDI Training Interventions and IDI Assessments and Program Evaluations.

IDI Advanced Workshop: Coaching for Intercultural Development

This workshop is open only to Qualified IDI Administrators and focuses on the question, "how do I provide effective coaching for individuals aimed at increasing their intercultural competence as assessed by the IDI?" The emphasis in this intensive, hands-on program is to help participants design and conduct effective intercultural coaching based on IDI profile results. In this workshop, participants will learn specific coaching strategies and techniques for guiding intercultural development. In addition, participants will actively engage with one another in sharpening their coaching skills through realistic role-play scenarios and case studies.

IDI Advanced Workshop: Training Interventions

This workshop is open only to Qualified IDI Administrators and focuses on the question, "how do I develop and conduct effective training that increase intercultural competence of a group based on IDI profile results?" This workshop provides specific guidelines for how to select training interventions (e.g., activities, role-play scenarios, case studies, games, etc) appropriate to an identified group's IDI level of intercultural development. In addition, the workshop provides specific guidelines and skills for conducting and facilitating training programs based on IDI profile results.

IDI Advanced Workshop: Assessment and Program Evaluation

This workshop is open only to Qualified IDI Administrators and focuses on the question, "how can I use the IDI as a baseline assessment of intercultural competence and to evaluate diversity/intercultural programs in our organization?" This workshop guides participants through the process of (1) insuring "buy-in" from key decision makers and stakeholders, (2) identifying assessment goals and outcomes, (3) designing strategies to validly gather quantitative and qualitative data using the IDI, (4) preparing IDI analysis "templates" to insure assessment goals are reached, (5) identifying strategies for maximizing dissemination of findings, and (6) discusses how to set-up a process for implementation (e.g., coaching, training, organizational development) of IDI assessment results so that specific recommendations are addressed in the organization.
