Our DEI Strategy Accelerator helps organizations move DEI into their business strategy. It combines assessments, learning, and strategic guidance for creating a diverse, equitable and inclusive work environment.
Through assessments and conversations with your team, we help you understand the state of your organization’s DEI efforts through a deep dive into your systems and procedures.
We customize and deliver learning programs that allow all leaders in your organization to practice self-reflection, gain more confidence, learn the importance of embracing diversity, and acquire practical techniques that they can incorporate into their everyday team and community interactions.
We help you put together a strategic plan with built-in accountability around diversity, equity, and inclusion goals.
We believe that the people within organizations already have many of the answers they’re seeking. Our goal is to work alongside team members to help them uncover these solutions, hear underrepresented voices, and synthesize disparate opinions into solutions that work best for them.
We take the hard work out of creating the initial diversity, equity, and inclusion strategy, but we also work closely with our partners by engaging in regular communication throughout the process, sharing feedback and trends and seeking guidance as we move forward together.
After working with the project team to develop the best strategy, we will help identify processes, procedures, structures, and schedules that will help the team put these plans into motion while working together to create strategies for constant improvement.
We believe in long-term relationships, so we will be there for your team to help you climb the next mountain. At the same time, our goal with each project is to empower you with the internal skills that will help you continue to thrive independently.
