On Day 1 participants will Explore what the terms equality, diversity and inclusion mean in the learner’s own organisational context. We will explore structural inequality in organisational and societal contexts before considering the evolution of understanding of the EDI agenda and metamorphosis of terms to include equity, belonging and enrichment. Learner’s will share their own examples of good practice and success stories before analysing the complexity of the organisational ecosystems and the impact it has on delivering EDI outcomes. 

Day 2 explores the relationship between organisational culture and successful delivery of EDI outcomes before considering the role of the 2010 Act and other legislative or regulatory frameworks on progressing EDI outcomes and consider the moral and financial business case as alternatives to the legislative ‘business case’. Participants will then critically review research, models, frameworks, and case studies relating to the delivery of successful EDI outcomes. The day concludes with an investigation of bias and the impact this has on delivering EDI outcomes in the organisational context.

Day 3 commences with learners analysing the complexity of the leader’s role in creating a culture which enables the delivery of successful EDI outcomes before exploring the role of data, measures, performance management and reporting on the delivery of EDI. The programme will conclude with consideration, examination and analysis of the learner’s key challenges and barriers to delivering EDI in their organisations before drawing upon the taught concepts of the programme to design or enhance the learner’s organisational EDI strategic objectives.
