An essential first step on your EDI journey is identifying the inclusion challenges within your organisation. This will be used to tailor interventions to your requirements and create a bespoke pathway to transformation. While there may be a known issue in the organisation, it often takes an outside, objective assessment to identify all areas where intervention is necessary – to spot the first ripples of a potential problem rather than allowing it to fester and build into a tsunami. The assessment is also essential in order to ascertain the scope of the issues that arise and engage those affected by it, both positively and negatively. This is key to creating long-term change.
