LEARNING & DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMMES

Building Cohesive Communities through powerful learning experiences

Embed equity to strengthen culture and create cohesive, high-performing organisations.

Diversity. Inclusion. Cohesion. Equity.


Meaningful change cannot be achieved through awareness-raising alone. It requires the capability to recognise how bias and prejudice operate in practice, and the willingness to address their impact across behaviours, systems and decisions. For organisations committed to Environmental and Social Governance (ESG) and Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), this means moving beyond statements of intent to demonstrable action and measurable outcomes.

Sustainable, organisation-wide change begins with people, but it cannot end there. Communities are shaped by the individuals within them, and cohesion is strengthened when those individuals are supported by leadership, systems and culture that reinforce fairer ways of working. BCohCo works from the ground up, developing capability at every level of the organisation, while supporting leaders to embed equity and cohesion within structures, policies and decision-making frameworks that can be evidenced, evaluated and improved over time.

 

 

 

BCohCo specialises in delivering high-quality, real-time learning experiences that connect individual capability with organisational accountability. Delivered in small groups by trained DICE Development Associates, our programmes create the conditions for focused engagement, reflection and meaningful learning, while generating insight that can inform wider ESG and CSR objectives.

Sessions are intentionally challenging and require active participation. This approach supports deeper understanding, shared responsibility and the development of practical capability, enabling participants to apply learning within their roles and influence change across teams and systems. In doing so, organisations are better equipped to demonstrate social impact, strengthen governance, and evidence progress against their ESG and CSR commitments.

 

The future of learning

Active, facilitated learning
The DICE Programme is delivered through engaging online and in-person sessions, led by trained DICE Development Associates. Sessions are designed for active participation, with small-group formats that support focused engagement, dialogue and shared learning.Participation is an essential part of the programme. Online sessions are delivered live, with cameras encouraged where possible to support connection, accountability and meaningful interaction.
Reflective Practices
BCohCo facilitates structured conversations that engage with complex and sometimes challenging themes in a considered and purposeful way. Reflection is built into our approach, giving participants time to think critically about what they are learning, why it matters, and how it connects to their role, responsibilities and organisational context.This reflective practice supports deeper understanding, shared responsibility and the ability to translate insight into practical action, strengthening individual capability and contributing to more cohesive ways of working across organisations.
Brave Spaces
We intentionally limit group sizes to support focused, respectful and well-facilitated discussion. This approach allows participants to engage thoughtfully with one another, listen to a range of lived experiences and contribute meaningfully to shared learning. Sessions are highly interactive and designed around dialogue, reflection and practical activities that encourage personal responsibility and collective understanding. This creates the conditions for honest conversation while maintaining clear boundaries and psychological safety for everyone involved.

COURSE GOALS

Cross-Cultural Literacy

  • Develop shared language and understanding
    Enable participants to understand how culture, identity, power and context shape behaviour and experience at work, and to use shared language to discuss difference with clarity and confidence.

  • Build the capability to navigate difference responsibly
    Support participants to engage constructively across cultural differences, recognise impact alongside intent, and respond to complexity without defensiveness or avoidance.

  • Strengthen awareness of systems and outcomes
    Equip participants to identify how organisational systems, policies and everyday practices can produce unequal outcomes, and to understand their role within those systems.

  • Translate insight into practical action
    Support participants to apply learning within their roles, teams and organisations, contributing to fairer practices, stronger cohesion and more effective ways of working.

Why Now?

The working world is changing. Today’s organisations bring together multiple generations, evolving social norms and a growing diversity of lived experience. This complexity is not a challenge to be managed away, but a reality that must be understood and navigated well.Greater diversity has the potential to strengthen communities, improve the quality of work and support long-term organisational success. However, these outcomes are not automatic. Without the right skills, structures and shared understanding, diversity can expose tensions, reinforce inequality and place strain on teams and systems.DICE provides a practical framework for responding to this reality. It supports organisations to move beyond intention, address challenges with clarity and responsibility, and build the conditions needed for equity, cohesion and effective collaboration.

Choose your DICE programme

In many organisations, people want to do the right thing but lack the language, confidence or clarity to act. They may be unsure how to navigate difference, recognise bias in practice, or respond appropriately when harm occurs. This uncertainty can lead to silence, avoidance or inconsistency.

The DICE Programme is designed to address this gap. It builds the skills and shared understanding needed to engage with difference constructively, hold challenging conversations with respect, and respond to discrimination with responsibility rather than fear.

Through structured learning and facilitated dialogue, participants develop the capability to influence culture within their teams and organisations. DICE Champions play a key role in supporting cohesion as organisations grow, helping to embed inclusive, fair and effective ways of working over time.
