How to Use a Project Management Framework to Improve DEI

From political turmoil to a global pandemic, our world has seen monumental pivotal changes in only a few short years. Not only has this impacted how our society functions, but also how we do business.

Unfortunately, not every organization could effectively and successfully pivot, adapt, and thrive through such pivotal and unprecedented changes. However, successful organizations shifted how they handled talent management and change. They shifted their focus from process to outcomes and have a solid structure, level of governance, and change management model, all of which are crucial elements to success.

It sounds easy, but the truth is it can be extremely difficult for organizations to keep up with the competition, society, politics, the economy, and all the other changes that the world throws at them.

One such initiative is Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion, or DEI. DEI has become a serious matter that many organizations must take seriously. However, not every organization understands where to begin to approach DEI, never mind implementing its initiatives. Many organizations throw the responsibility at HR, expecting them to develop policies and procedures to bring more organizational awareness to and improve DEI.
