Every organization and each leadership team is at a different place on their EDI journey; consequently, there is no “one size fits all” approach to creating EDI strategy. Each project is guided by the organization’s current state and needs, giving us an opportunity to explore creative and innovative approaches.
Key steps for change
Understand the "why" and align it with organizational purpose.
Realize that changes to practices, processes, and communications are needed to reflect a commitment to EDI.
Review culture and practices through an equity lens. Understand their (often inadvertent) impact and align this with the organization's intent.
Identify and prioritize immediate actions that can be taken and longer-term opportunities for change.
Review results and seek further opportunities for improvement; view this work as a journey rather than a destination.
Abi Conan-Walker, Chief Operating Officer, Acuitas Therapeutics
“Shona supported Acuitas Therapeutics in its aspirations to achieve greater EDI outcomes. As an innovator, Acuitas highly values diversity of perspective, but we wanted to be aware of and educated about potential blindspots and opportunities to go even further. With her brilliant combination of thought leadership, pragmatism and ability to engage, Shona was able to help us form our ‘Encapsulating All’ programme into something dynamic, engaging and fact based, ensuring understanding and ownership throughout the organisation. Shona led a number of educational workshops for our team and provided engaging, accessible insights as well as toolkits and takeaways for a more inclusive workplace. We are extremely grateful for her work with us.”
Sze-Mei Yeung, Partner and Chair of Equity, Diversity & Inclusion Committee, Richard Buell Sutton LLP
“Shona has presented to our law firm multiple times and we have enjoyed her educational sessions and workshops about unconscious bias. She is an interesting, approachable and engaging speaker. The workshops offer diverse perspectives, good resources and increased our firm’s awareness of EDI issues and personal self-awareness of these issues. Shona provides practical insights and advice on how individuals and organizations can mitigate biases and improve inclusion. I would strongly recommend Shona if you are an organization that is seeking to increase your awareness in these areas.”
