Our Services

We work on big and small projects. Our projects range from a single service such as an assessment or training to multiple services that result in a strategic action plan.

Assessments

We evaluate processes, capability, capacity, sentiments, and receptivity within organizations. Our assessments are like health checkups that:

• Describe an organization’s current diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts and outcomes
• Determine whether the current diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts and outcomes match intentions
• Identify the challenges and bottlenecks that affect equitable and inclusive service access and outcomes
• Inform an action plan to help the organization identify and operationalize measurable diversity, equity, and inclusion goals

Strategic Planning

We collaborate with our clients to develop strategic action plans that leverage the opportunities of their unique situations and identify and operationalize measurable diversity, equity, and inclusion goals. We use classic tools and methods tailored to best fit our client’s needs starting with a situation analysis and ending with an action plan sensitive to the skill, will, and capacity within the organization and integrates operations and strategies that impact the workplace, workforce, marketplace, and community.
