WORK TO ACHIEVE RESULTS

“I have used the GDEIB since 2017 as an international association CEO, Executive Director of a not for profit and as an inclusion consultant for corporations. I have used various assessments but none have the comprehensive, organization-wide depth of inquiry that the GDEIB provides. Most important is that the GDEIB compels recognition that this work is a journey without end and that our evolution together across our perceived differences, while complex, can be observed and measured by the choices we make. I can use the GDEIB with any community that is committed to belonging for everyone. Sometimes I find that the GDEIB actually helps people understand the depth of that commitment in ways not achievable through other means. It is invaluable to my work.”

“The research process brought DEI practitioners and DEI voices from around the world. We collaborated on the development and co-creation process to have a truly global and an inclusive GDEIB document.”

“The GDEIB is a practical guide for leaders across a variety of business functions looking for behaviourally explicit answers to the question: ‘What do you want me to do?’ It is an excellent resource for leaders well beyond DEI practitioners.”

“Diversity and inclusion are core values of the NBA. The GDEIB has been an invaluable contribution to our Playbook as we work to further integrate D&I into our efforts across our leagues and at each of our teams. The GDIB provides a clear view for each enterprise to see where it is currently on the continuum and what to work on to improve and reach the next level.”

“We still have a long way to walk before we achieve authentic inclusion in its true sense in organizations and in the world at large. The 1st step to the ladder leading to the destination of authentic inclusion is to know where you stand today; and in my experience GDIB is one of the best-known tools to measure that so that one is able to successfully chalk out planned strategy forE the future. I have successfully used the tool and know of many leading organizations across the world using it. It really can prove to be the light house showing you the right direction.”

“The most common question I am asked about equality, diversity, and inclusion is ‘what do leading organizations do?’ Behind this question is the desire to find out how your organization is doing and more importantly how to improve. The GDEIB fulfills this need like no other resource.”
