Issue
You are relatively new to the diversity and inclusion (D&I) field and it is important to become fully effective as soon as possible. You seek individualized, quick, high-impact development tailored to your specific needs and situation.

The organization's D&I work must move forward in the most-effective direction possible. You need a planning process that will help ensure the D&I initiative achieves business results that matter to your CEO.

You may be:

A newly-appointed Chief Diversity Officer (CDO) or diversity leader
An experienced executive or manager asked to lead your organization's new diversity initiative.
A manager asked to lead a new diversity council or take personal responsibility for developing and managing a diversity action plan for your part of the organization.
A diversity council asked to determine a direction for the organization's diversity and inclusion work.

Solution
Successfully managing diversity and inclusion (D&I) work requires specific knowledge and expertise in these primary areas:

Effective D&I leadership requires competence in self awareness, D&I subject matter, and organizational design and consulting
