The Key to Inclusion

"The book is packed with rational and practical guidance, examples and case studies. It challenges the thinking around DEI and demonstrates not only the obvious of putting inclusion at the core of organizational purpose and strategy, but argues one step further - thinking of inclusion as the strategy. Perhaps we do that and all the rest we are after comes as a result. The book delivers new and refreshing ideas, bringing in nicely the Industry 4.0 and future of work perspectives, to provide the reader with a plethora of ideas and practical tools to unlock talent and teams potential.
