The Need for INCLUSION BY
DESIGN
A key aspect of the change management function of modern day companies is the extent to which Inclusion, needs to be “by Design”- a key element in every process and a consideration for every new initiative.
Applying design-thinking to the engagement or employment lifecycle on behalf of diverse races, genders, abilities, and ages is essential to diagnosing and anticipating factors working against inclusion.
Redesign organizational processes to prevent biased choices from the start.
What is not measured cannot be fixed.
