Action plan development and implementation
Make real change towards equity, diversity, and inclusion in your organization.
Why create an equity, diversity, and inclusion action plan?
Establish organization-wide goals. Leverage shared objectives to help build a sense of belonging and purpose in your team.
Grow accountability and transparency. Increase the sense of responsibility among team members and stakeholders by sharing your action plan publicly.
Combine structural change with individual action. Address systemic inequities through organizational action such as policy change, and grow skills to support this structural change through complementary individual learning.
What does an action plan include?
Overall goals and specific objectives. Guide your efforts towards the actions most relevant for your organization by setting quantitative objectives and timelines.
Concrete and feasible action items. Build equity and inclusion by changing policies, standardizing procedures, increasing transparency, building professional development programs, and developing guidelines for inclusive meetings and events.
Evaluation plan and measures. Assess indicators regularly to determine if you’ve achieved an objective or if progress has stalled.
Data-driven justification for objectives and actions. Maximize the effectiveness of your initiatives by basing them on organizational data collected in your assessment and positive results demonstrated through research.
Implementation strategy. Get your team involved in putting your plan into action through internal communications, training, and enforcement of policy change.

Action plan packages:
-
Pre-assessment plan plus implementation
Description: While customized actions based on organizational data are key, you don’t need to wait until your assessment is complete before you begin making changes. We’ll create a short-term action plan based on public data and evidence-based strategies so you can start building inclusion without delay.
Duration: Starting at one month.
Best for: Groups currently conducting an equity, diversity, and inclusion assessment who would like to start taking action right away.
Available as an add-on to any assessment package.
-
New action plan plus implementation
Description: Based on your organization’s unique assessment, we’ll develop an action plan to best fit your strengths and growth opportunities. But this is just the start - we’ll work together to facilitate real change by putting the plan into practice using neuroscience-based strategies for effective learning, habit formation, and team building.
Duration: Starting at three months.
Best for: Groups who have completed an assessment and are ready to develop their first equity, diversity, and inclusion action plan.
-
Action plan revision plus implementation
Description: Action plans are dynamic - new research brings new evidence-based strategies, and new growth opportunities arise as your organization evolves. We’ll adjust your action plan to meet your current needs, followed by a neuroscience-based approach to put the revisions into practice.
Duration: Starting at two months.
Best for: Groups meeting the objectives in their current action plan and ready to expand their actions, or groups not meeting the objectives in their current action plan who would like assistance in reworking their plan.
