New thinking is needed to address the gap between the promise and practice of inclusion.
Disruptive global challenges and shifting workforce expectations make it more urgent than ever to get inclusion right. Organizations need the skills and perspectives of the widest possible mix of people to find creative solutions for our changing future. Yet many companies struggle to achieve business outcomes from inclusion. Uncertain what it really looks like, what action to take, or how to measure progress and impact, they too often focus on isolated initiatives.
In this powerful book, Alison Maitland and I provide an effective way forward. Challenging today’s piecemeal approaches, we set out a coherent framework and whole-system approach to help leaders make the changes they need to achieve visible business impact. Showing how inclusiveness is indivisible from the way organizations operate, we offer compelling case studies, innovative solutions, novel measures and scorecards to demonstrate progress, and step-by-step guidance to make it happen – for the sake of sustainable businesses and society.

Design the Future: Breakthroughs with diversity, inclusion, and design thinking by Rebekah Steele with Lisa Wenger, PhD
Today’s D&I best practices are not achieving the results we need. We must co-create breakthroughs.

Traditional D&I habits or routine mindsets
‘How-to’ guides to conventional D&I programs
This book is about:
The need for transformational change in D&I
Blending Diversity, Inclusion, and Design Thinking for innovation
Co-creating D&I next practices for widespread, sustained impact
We must do better with DEI, and Design Thinking can help. That’s what this eBook is about. Download a complimentary copy here.
