Driving the D&I Agenda

Diversity and inclusion (D&I) are priorities for all organisations today. While informed leaders and organisations understand the strategic importance of diversity and inclusion, realising that goal is challenging.

The Advancing Diversity and Inclusion programme empowers you to seize and leverage the power of difference in a way that is as meaningful as it is sustainable. Targeting five strategic areas of focus, the programme equips you with the understanding, the vision and the frameworks to identify the obstacles, build the strategies, and nurture the inclusive culture, processes and interpersonal dynamics to truly lead change. 

Skills you will develop

Adapting to change, building inclusivity, developing people, persuasion, strategy execution.

Our Participant Profile

The Advancing Diversity and Inclusion programme is designed for: 

  • Executives who are in traditional leadership positions – of teams, business units, products or functions – and who are committed to driving diversity and inclusion in their area
  • Senior executives who are responsible for driving the diversity and inclusion agenda of their organisations
  • Human Resource leaders.

Please note, this programme is highly tailored for individuals working within an organisation, enabling them to implement the learnings directly in their respective workplace as they progress. For this reason, the programme is not suited to consultants, executives in-between roles, free-lancers, or any other position outside an organisational setting.
