Diversity, Equity & Inclusion Journey

The Strategic Alignment Solution

A majority of the organizations today seek to create an environment that is increasingly based on diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) as key contributors to their business strategy and cultural identity.

The Challenge

The challenges for leaders assigned to execute their organization’s DEI strategy, is that they often face what is considered to be a daunting task. They typically discover that their organization is lacking in real curriculum and alignment strategies. This systematic approach is designed to equip leaders with the knowledge, tools, and techniques necessary to develop and deepen their essential set of skills.

The Need for Strategic Alignment

The Gallup organization reports that individuals in the workforce need a purpose. They want to understand both how they fit and why they matter to the success of their teams. More than just monetary compensation and benefits, they want a fair work environment where they are developed, praised and recognized for their performance and contributions. More importantly, they don’t want a Boss, but rather a Coach who can build a collaborative relationship with them.

These positive coaching relationships that are built on empathy and trust, are focused on individual and team development, to promote performance-based interrelated accountability. This forward-focused approach allows leaders to coach to their people’s strengths by recognizing and enhancing their individuality and developing their unique talents.

Leaders who are skilled at implementing strategic alignment principles are capable of creating an environment allowing every individual an opportunity to win. This win-win based coaching system helps to minimize, or often eliminate, both real and/or perceived workplace biases and equity issues. It provides the cornerstone from which to build an environment based on equity and inclusion. This results in increased engagement and improved performance.
