Our Three DEI Competencies
In our experience, DEI work falls under three competencies—knowledge, culture and structure. Every institution is at a different point in its journey and we see our role as helping our partners discover where they are and determine what work needs to be done to meet their goals.
Knowledge
Organizations need their people to gain knowledge, skills and competencies around diversity, inclusion and equitable practices. Knowledge work can be delivered through interactive in-person trainings, webinars and the creation of custom curricula that ranges from basic definitions and language level setting, to historical context, dialogue and facilitation skills.
Culture
When an organization commits to DEI as a value, thinking about how inclusion is felt and seen in its workplace becomes imperative. Culture work builds the community to bring the organization’s values to life. It typically begins with discussion based workshops and retreats. It is sustained through self-led cohorts and team building initiatives.
Structure
In order to fulfill the “E” in DEI—organizations must assess, eliminate or transform policies and systems that operationalize inequity. Structural transformation requires research, analysis, testing, implementation and iteration. Structural work heavily involves leadership from all departments over sustained periods of time.
