DEI Disrupted: The Blueprint for DEI Worth Doing

Article Summary

For leaders committed to making an impact

DEI is at a critical crossroads. With companies spending up to $8 billion each year on DEI training, many leaders are realising that their investments into ‘traditional’ approaches are failing to bring lasting impact.

Poorly implemented DEI erodes employee trust – 64% of employees say it’s crucial for employers to take clear stands on social issues, yet only a fraction feel that DEI efforts are making a real difference. The gap is costly – undermining employee loyalty, reducing retention, and risking brand reputation and integrity.

Our research team set out to discover where DEI is at and where we need to go at this critical juncture to make DEI sustainable and impactful. As well as a literature review we interviewed key DEI influencers from global organisations and consultants.

What you get from DEI Disrupted: 

  • The Reality Check: Why DEI is under scrutiny and why it matters now more than ever.
  • Beyond the Surface: Why familiar DEI approaches aren’t enough—and what works.
  • Expertise That Counts: Why DEI needs depth and vision, not just good intentions.

This is more than a white paper, it’s a blueprint for your sustainable DEI strategy. This white paper is for anyone ready to create stronger, more resilient teams through DEI.
