Assessment

Before you start a strategic initiative around Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion (DEI), you must understand your current state.  A comprehensive assessment performed by external experts is a critical step to long-term success, as it provides a data-driven understanding of “where you are” as the foundation for determining “Where you want to be.”

You want to ensure your strategic decision-making and action planning is informed by valid and reliable data.  Assessment can also be used to establish a baseline and/or measure progress, depending on where your organization is at in your DEI journey.  Inclusive Leaders Group assessments will provide the information and education you require for successful and sustainable results.
