Redesigning Inclusion

Are you ready to take new action for new results?

Combine individual and organizational assessments with inclusive learning programs—offered both in person and virtually—to address the most current and pressing challenges leaders face today. Utilize assessments and learning sessions with coaching and keynotes to create a transformative change in your leaders, workforce and organization.

Redesigning Inclusion is grounded in three approaches to inclusion:

• Executive Sponsorship: Provide executives with the skills and mindset to sponsor underrepresented leaders to enhance the leadership pipeline.
• Becoming an Inclusion Champion: Empower leaders and your workforce to champion inclusion within your organization.
• Superpowers & Symphony: Created in partnership with architect and futurist Oshoke Abalu, Superpowers & Symphony empowers leaders at your organization to become change agents, who lead with heart, and equips your employees with key tools, a better understanding and a new language around inclusion.

This Signature Solution provides a pathway to success by focusing on factors that yield impactful, scalable and sustainable outcomes, including:

• Data-driven decisions: Our leadership assessment empowers leaders to use data to improve team dynamics and inclusive behaviors. Our organizational assessment helps organizations develop a comprehensive strategy for the development of an inclusive organization.
• Accountable and invested leaders: In our programming, leaders make commitments to inclusion as individuals and as leaders. Executive coaching gives leaders the tools they need to continue their journey as inclusive leaders. In person and virtual offerings help leaders get the learning they need in ways that are engaging and impactful.
• A solution designed for your organization: Our solution keeps scalability and context in mind. Leadership programming includes learning scenarios that can integrate into the context of your organization. Keynotes can be customized to deliver our Redesigning Inclusion content within your organizational context. Programming can reach all levels of leadership and the workforce.

Redesigning Inclusion is based on Linkage’s research on inclusion and years of experience working with leading organizations.

Organizations which rely on the Redesigning Inclusion Signature Solution are:

• Ready for a new, human-centered approach to DEI that is focused on meeting leaders and employees where they are and supporting a positive vision for inclusion

• Focused on retention of high-potential and rising people managers through development and differentiated experiences

Why should organizations embrace a new approach to DEI? When it comes to diversity, equity and inclusion in the workplace, the status quo simply isn’t working. Organizations in the United States spent nearly $7.5 billion on DEI-related efforts in 2020, a figure that is projected to more than double to $15.4 billion by 2026**. And yet, the results simply aren’t there: while almost two-thirds of organizations (65%) say DE&I is a high strategic priority, 67% say their organization is, at best, only somewhat successful at creating a workplace that is diverse, equitable and inclusive.***
