Now on The New American -- The DEI Chronicles
A five-part article series on Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI), and why getting it right is critical to our shared future.
The reason we find it so hard to prioritize social inclusion in our organizations is that we still think of it as something we’re doing for “those people”. But it’s so much more than that. Due to the unprecedented sociological shifts we’re undergoing, in every way we currently measure, we’ll soon be a non-majority nation. In that society, only organizations built to embrace, empower and include everyone will have a future.
Based on 20+ years of social systems research, practical insights gained through both advising and hands-on work helping organizations become better versions of themselves combined with lessons learned from lived experience — both mine and family members, The DEI Chronicles is my attempt to encapsulate those learnings into a roadmap for any organization committed to aligning itself with the future “us”, and thereby, creating a place for itself in the place we’re becoming.
