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
alignment 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 1 st 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 business
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
include, 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.

Our Team
Integrity Development’s team of senior, highly experienced consultants specialize in talent and market optimization
using a diversity and inclusion platform. The family legacy of Integrity’s CEO and founder dates back to the very
beginning of the diversity field. This, combined with the Fortune 100 experience of our senior leadership team,
allows us to offer consulting services that provide real-world solutions closely aligned to the business strategy of
our clients that deliver results. We offer a full suite of D&I marketplace solutions through our team of experts,
which includes former corporate officers in workforce Diversity and Human Resources; Business Growth Strategists;
those experienced in HR Analytics and Recruiting; experts in Corporate Learning; and leaders across the
Supplier Diversity spectrum. We combine entrepreneurial adaptability with world-class business experience and
an understanding of scale from our Fortune 100 know-how.
Integrity’s talent gives us some of the strongest bench strength in the D&I industry; our ethical consultants are
thought leaders in business and academia. This expertise allows us to provide our clients with cutting-edge, proven
solutions, incorporating the latest industry practices. Our consulting services, including D&I strategy development,
executive coaching, analytics, Diversity Council optimization, and others, are delivered by industry experts.
Many firms send experienced professionals for early, visible interactions, like front-end sales presentations, or Executive
and Board briefings, but relegate the execution of most services to much less experienced, junior employees.
The depth of Integrity’s team, coupled with our singular focus on providing D&I solutions to a meaningful
portfolio of clients, translates into our clients having a senior leader’s hands-on contribution throughout the entire
life cycle of an engagement. We carefully tailor dedicated teams with the right expertise and fit for each client.
