Recommended next steps during the fourth stage of your EDI Journey:
EDI Journey Stage 4, when an organisation is recognising Diversity as an opportunity.
For Senior Leaders
Setting your EDI Ambition
Before embarking on long-term, resource intensive changes, it is well worth articulating the final destination. This is the EDI Ambition – the North Star that helps guide all EDI-related activities and planning. A well-considered EDI Ambition is fully supportive of your organisation’s purpose and vision. To help shape this, we work with you in a workshop setting, helping you articulate your organisation’s needs, hopes and ambitions and capture them in one simple and clear statement.
Your EDI Strategy and Action Plan
Once you know where you’re heading and where the gaps are, we can turn your strategy into a plan to reach your EDI Ambition. This is an exercise in identifying priorities, looking at timing, and agreeing on a set of ‘Quick Wins’ that garner support for the impending change. We help you by proposing a set of impactful initiatives that are right for you, identifying objectives and plan the next 12 months with you.
One-to-one EDI Coaching Conversations
In these one-to-one conversations with senior leaders we build their confidence and give practical advice to support them in their personal journey and ability to lead on EDI.

People managers follow a 6-month modular leadership development programme, honing the skills and mindset to enable them to drive and role model EDI and tap into the collective intelligence of their teams.
