Diversity & Inclusion (D&I) Consulting Services

Included is recognised globally for partnering with organisations to deliver innovative, impact-led D&I solutions.

We bring together global leaders with deep expertise in D&I and extensive leadership experience in the worlds of academia, business and government. Our impact-led approach to inclusion has brought meaningful, measurable change in the public, private and third sectors.

We are passionate about benefiting the clients we work with and contributing to making the world a better place.

We partner with clients across the five areas that our research and practice tells us we need to get right in inclusion work: strategy, data, governance, leadership and systems.

Approach

Our approach of Understand, Lead and Deliver ensures we skilfully and positively disrupt and educate the Boardroom in corporations, academia, media and government to help re-engineer organisations to be more inclusive.

Understand
Understand is about defining your why. It’s about understanding what D&I is, why it matters to your organisation, crafting a relevant business case and then relating that to existing challenges you are trying to tackle.

Lead
Lead is about leaders taking personal responsibility for their behaviours and understanding their own impact. We help empower people and their teams to deliver inclusive cultures.

Deliver
Deliver is about actions. We help develop targeted interventions to change the specific aspects of the organisation that need focus, bringing a truly practical approach.

Maturity Model

Organisations tend to adopt one of three approaches to D&I work, as we detail in our books and thought leadership. These approaches are either compliance (Diversity 101), PR (Diversity 2.0) or genuine embedding in decision-making (Inclusion 3.0). We cover the range but focus at moving organisations towards 3.0 and real impact – and we’re helping to craft the future world of Inclusion 4.0.

Diversity 101
The ‘101’, compliance-heavy approach to D&I has been about attaining a minimum, not a maximum. It tackles legal requirements and may include gender or ethnicity quotas.

Diversity 2.0
The reputational or marketing-led approach sees organisations begin to ‘take a stand’ in visible ways.
https://included.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/Icon_MaturityModel_3-2.jpg
Inclusion 3.0
Our partner organisations go further and work towards truly embedding inclusion in leadership behaviours. We call this approach ‘Inclusion 3.0’.

Inclusion 4.0
Taking inclusion to the next level calls for system change. These organisations are radically changing work, embracing digital innovation, remote work, and dispersed workforces.
