Inclusion strategy trajectory
Inclusion strategy trajectory
We work closely with organizations to help them integrate inclusion thoughtfully and strategically. This involves collaboratively setting clear and achievable priorities to make inclusion a natural and valuable part of their organizational culture.
What is an inclusion strategy trajectory?
In an inclusion strategy trajectory, we focus on assisting organizations in establishing clear priorities and developing an effective action plan aligned with these priorities. Our aim is to provide the necessary tools and guidelines to transform inclusion from an abstract concept into a tangible and integrated practice within the organization. We aim to achieve lasting change where inclusion becomes a fundamental part of the organizational culture.
What is our course of action?
Many of our clients describe our trajectory as practical and action-oriented, and that is precisely our aim. We strive not to get stuck discussing potential challenges but focus on rapidly mobilizing the organization. How do we concretely approach this?
- We start by gathering all available information within the organization about inclusion, such as satisfaction surveys and inclusion reports. We assess this data to see if any important insights are missing.
- We assemble a group of engaged employees who are willing to commit to inclusion. This group is strategically formed to ensure sufficient support within the organization.
- Using the collected data, we organize workshops with the management and Inclusion Council to discuss the overarching goals and challenges. During this phase, we outline the initial contours of organization-wide engagement.
- To avoid a chaotic 'Pandora effect,' we only engage with the entire organization after defining the initial commitments. This helps us critically analyze and further refine the plans.
- The insights gained enable us to concretize the organization's commitments. We connect strategic priorities and short- and long-term actions to these commitments.
- The strategy is then translated into an accessible charter, distributed throughout the entire organization. This serves as a starting point for discussion and, more importantly, for concrete actions.
What is the outcome of a strategy trajectory?
At the end of our trajectory, you can expect several valuable results. Firstly, a clear statement of engagement outlining your organization's commitment to inclusion. Additionally, you will receive a detailed internal action plan to put this commitment into practice. Crucial is also the broader engagement and support we create within the management and throughout the entire organization. This last point is essential for us; we aim to foster this sense of co-creation throughout the entire trajectory, ensuring everyone feels involved and responsible for promoting an inclusive work environment.
Statement of engagement
Regardless of how it is named – charter, policy document, or statement of engagement – this document is the heart of the commitment to inclusion. It is a tangible promise from the organization, outlining priorities for the coming years. This document serves as a compass, pointing the way toward a more inclusive future.
Action Plan
An engagement is only meaningful when translated into action. Therefore, we develop an action plan with concrete steps to fulfill these promises. We seek realistic ways to find ownership and support within the organization, ensuring the plan exists not only on paper but also comes to life in daily practice.
Support and awareness
Real change starts with engagement from everyone, from the very beginning. Involving the management is crucial, as their support and commitment act as a powerful catalyst for change. We focus on building strong awareness and support, ensuring that the change is profound and sustainable.
Which organizations have we guided?
Guiding both large and small organizations in defining their inclusion priorities, we have developed a deep understanding of how the unique structure and culture of an organization influence the choice of engagement, actions, and the ability to change. Our extensive expertise allows us to provide innovative solutions tailored to the specific needs and challenges of each organization.
