VISIONS customizes its services, workshop curricula, and consultation to address the specific needs of the individuals or organization with which it is working.

Our multicultural organizational development process incorporates a variety of approaches and techniques that address what people think, what they do, and how they feel about cultural differences and changes. The process addresses each of the following levels:

  • personal - attitudes, beliefs, opinions;
  • interpersonal - behaviors, treatments, and relationships;
  • institutional - policies, practices, and systems;
  • cultural - values, norms, and expression.

Our work in organizations always incorporates the following elements:

  • Creating internal support groups or task forces - to generate commitment;
  • Workshops - for experiential learning;
  • Building internal capacity - to continue the work longer term.
