Multi-phase approach to developing your DEI Strategy

1. Consult and Assess

As experts in research, we will examine your processes and policies, and listen to your people using a customised mix of surveys, focus groups and interviews to take a deep dive into your organisation. We specialise in building trust and safely gathering insights from those in your organisation with lived experience of feeling excluded or discriminated against.

2. Analyse and create shared insights

We will provide you with an Insights Report that synthesises the data to identify needs and priorities across the organisation, and situates current DEI status against best practice.

3. Deliver

We will deliver a DEI plan that tackles the real issues, is tailored to organisational DEI maturity, aligned with business goals, and has clear metrics to measure outcomes.

4. Support Implementation and Review

We will also assist you to identify barriers to implementation and sustainability, consider support needs and embed review points.
