About Us
Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DE&I) in the workplace is a no brainer. Likewise, it makes sense in business terms too. Studies show an 80% improvement in business performance among those with high diversity levels. When people feel included and able to reach their full potential, they are more engaged.

Manifesto
Unleashing Powerful Cultures
We understand businesses are keen to leverage DE&I as a business enabler. Done well, embedding DE&I unleashes a powerful culture that attracts and retains the best talent and reflects the evolving demands of consumers and markets. Your business will also perform better financially.
We believe that your powerful culture is present within your company already. We’ll work with you to release this potential and create an inclusive culture where everyone works at their best. Who wouldn’t want that?
We love working with companies who are amazing at what they do, regardless of their DE&I maturity, and are ready to be proactive and make meaningful change.
We are a consultancy, led by Charlotte Sweeney OBE, and our global team of consultants adopt a best in class approach in everything that they do. We have extensive experience leading DE&I change with organisations, so know how best to support you. Think of us as your team of DE&I critical friends, expect open and honest conversations from the outset.
We guarantee incisive support and eliminate the confusion and complexity around DE&I. We pride ourselves on being productive, delivering effective, practical programmes globally, which drive sustainable change.
We encourage you to be disruptive and to create an outstanding organisational culture that others will aspire to and that you can be proud of.
Be an inclusive disruptor, be transparent, open, courageous, bias aware, curious and consistent.
Charlotte Sweeney OBE
Inclusive Leadership
The definitive guide to developing and executing an impactful diversity and inclusion strategy
Inclusive Leadership - the definitive guide to developing and executing an impactful diversity and inclusion strategy – locally and globally, aims to guide organisations to achieve the change they are striving for in a straightforward, no nonsense style.
Looking at all aspects of business, it works through the whole employee life cycle and considers how to achieve a diverse supply chain. It introduces the STAR framework that any sized organisation can use, to help think about where they are on their DE&I journey and where they want to be. Using examples of leading thinking and good practices from around the world, this is the first book on diversity and inclusive leadership that offers tried and tested approaches to achieving sustainable change.
Inclusive Leadership has been shortlisted for the Chartered Management Institute (CMI) Management Book of the Year prize and is in the top selling Amazon HR Management books.
