Recommended next steps during the early stages of your EDI Journey.
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.
Inclusion Diagnostic
An Inclusion Diagnostic© is a qualitative exercise that helps identify the gaps between where you are and where you want to go. In a series of focus group sessions, we delve into the emotions and perceptions of Inclusion and provide a measurement for the level of Inclusion in your organisation. The Diagnostic identifies common themes and sticky points that stand between where you are now and where you want to get to.
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.
