ers of diversity, inclusion and respect training and consulting solutions for major corporations, govern-
ment agencies, and educational institutions across the country.

CORPORATE CASE STUDY

Toyota Motors is currently our largest client. We have served as their Diversity, Inclusion and Respect

over 200,000 team members and served as the external architect for their “Best Practice” Diversity and
Inclusion Strategic Plan.

GOVERNMENT AGENCY

We are currently working with the Cincinnati Police Department. As our nation struggles to find effective
Police-Community relationship solutions, Cincinnati’s Police Chief Jeffrey Blackwell has been identified as
one of our country’s most critical law enforcement leaders. Chief Blackwell credits our book Diversity
Conversations as being one of his most valuable resources and has established it as required reading for
his entire Police Department (1000 Officers). We have designed and delivered a very successful training
class that was provided for the newest graduating class of police recruits and is scheduled to be deliv-
ered to every Police Officer. We have also developed some innovative mobile apps that are aimed at
improving the level of respect that occurs within and outside of The Police Department.

STRATEGIC MODEL

Respect & Performance Strategic Model Overview

Integrity Development is committed to partnering with our clients to ensure a culture of respect and performance. The RAP Model provides our
approach to client engagement. Through integration of 3 distinctive components:
Organizational Alignment
Today’s leaders must adapt quickly to a rapidly changing business environment. Change has a higher probability of succeeding when there is align-
ment of three areas:

- Organizational Leadership - The Organization’s Vision, Mission, Goals & Objectives - The Utilization of Human and Financial Resources
A People Centric Culture
The most successful organizations consistently attract, develop, celebrate and retain talent. They are “People Centric” companies.
Effective organizational consulting is not one size fits all, it requires us to serve each client in a customized manner.
Our consulting process assumes a never-ending transition through four key steps:
Assessment: We begin each engagement asking questions that will enable us to gain the best perspective on our customer’s needs and requirements. This

process begins from our very 1st conversation and throughout the life cycle of our consulting relationship. Listening is our number one skill which ensures
that we provide solutions that meet our clients’ needs. We have a wide variety of individual and organizational assessments that can help us gain the
most accurate picture of the current and desired state within each organization.
Strategy Development: One of our major objectives in any client engagement is to assist them in building a road map to achieving their ultimate bus iness
objectives. This can include S.W.O.T. analysis sessions or other Culture of Respect strategic planning sessions at any level within a client organization.
Solution Implementation: Our team is not limited to simply assessing and monitoring problems, we effectively implement strategic solutions which in-
clude, but are not limited to Consulting, Coaching, Assessing and Training services.
Evaluation, Measurement, and Continuous Improvement: Our core values revolve around serving our clients in ways that are measurably effective.
Positive customer feedback has increased our desire to learn more which has led to better service delivery and client results.
