A JEDI Framework For Your Organization's Intercultural Development

Daniel Pascoe Aguilar's article presents the JEDI (Justice, Equity, Diversity, Inclusion) framework to enhance intercultural development in organizations, starting with mindset, approach, and procedures/policies. The Mindset element, using Dr. Milton Bennett's DMIS, helps individuals understand their perception of cultural differences. The Approach involves using Fred L. Casmir's Third Culture Building to integrate diverse perspectives for better collaboration and decision-making. Procedures/Policies focus on scaling JEDI initiatives at organizational levels. Implementing this framework fosters mutual respect, dialogue, and social justice, creating more effective and inclusive workplaces.
