This month, on August 4th from 12-1 pm, we are excited to have the team from AICPA (the preeminent international professional association for certified public accountants). They completed a private practicum for their full learning design & consultant internal teams in order to offer their membership beyond one-and-done options for upskilling on CPA-related competencies. They will be sharing their work and inviting questions.

Both have applied LCD model in the DEI space and particularly, have found the model useful, IF done right. In this dialogue, learn from their experience as they help us: [...]
