Diversity by Design
Clarity. Confidence. Change.
When it’s done right achieving greater diversity and inclusion can be good for business. Yours included.
Today, the whole landscape of equality, diversity, and inclusion can seem like a minefield.
There is so much great work being done to enable people to reach their potential and work well together. But too often people are worried about ‘doing the wrong thing’ and getting cancelled, concerned it’s all just a box-ticking exercise, or confused about the most practical way to move forward.
Yet when it’s done right, greater diversity and inclusion is not a nice-to-have; it’s both a core aspect of good business practice and a route to strategic advantage.
At Diversity by Design, we can help you use your diversity and inclusion practices to harness the potential of 'difference' and build a genuinely inclusive workplace, with all the right talent onboard to achieve your goals.
We offer refreshingly practical solutions grounded in your organisation’s strategic imperatives. So, rather than being an end in itself, diversity and inclusion become a way of removing barriers to talent and a driver of progress.
We can help you...
- Build a Diversity Framework, to embed measurable diversity and inclusion practices that drive your organisation's goals
- Create an environment for Disagreeing Well with spaces that are safe for disagreement rather than safe from disagreement
- Ensure your Staff Groups are working constructively with you, in line with your goals
If you’d welcome some clarity and a refreshed sense of direction for your work on diversity and inclusion, we’d love to help, just as we’ve helped clients such as Babcock, Saïd Business School, Stonewater Housing and Severn Trent Water to build inclusive workplaces that also deliver strategic advantage. Take a look at our Client stories to see just how impactful this can be.
Let’s start the conversation.

‘We wanted to refresh our EDI strategy and knew we wanted an approach that would be futureproofed and still relevant in ideally five years’ time but would also avoid the political pitfalls that exist and are emerging. We could also see that EDI was on the cusp of becoming divisive, so we needed to design something that was relatable and relevant to all employees, and not just our minority groups.’

‘Simon's work helped us coalesce our thinking around some quite tricky issues. He provided a structure for debate, which allowed us to explore trade-offs and complexities in a safe space. As a board, we are still talking about the day several years later.’

‘We were looking for external expertise to run a session with Board members to draw out from the real world how diversity improves the workplace and Board’s oversight and challenge. The credibility that you brought gave the Board clear ideas on the meaning and impact of diversity and how to proportionally consider them in our Society’s context.’
