Unlock your business through
diverse leadership
from within

Not enough diverse talent reaching senior levels.
Not enough difference of thought and perspective in executive rooms.
Not enough leaders engaged to pave a better way forward for all.

This is the status quo for many companies despite decades of evidence showing that greater diversity in leadership drives business performance, innovation and sustainability.

Companies cannot afford for this to be enough.

Complex market and technological developments are sharpening the focus on what top talent looks like.
ESG regulation is raising the bar in parts of the world, marking companies whether they follow or not.
Employees - especially younger generations - are expecting more from workplaces and won’t stick around for change.

But the horizon is disruptive and unstable, even for companies serious about doing better. Budgetary cuts, DEI headwinds and geopolitical uncertainties all mean stark ROI choices.

It’s time to rethink the approach to diversity.

21.5 % -point drop in women's representation, from entry-level to C-suite [1]

For every woman moving into Director level, two are leaving [2]

67% and 74% drop in representation of women of colour and LGBTQIA+ women in the C-suite [3]

39% greater likelihood of financial outperformance for companies with gender-diverse executive teams [4]

3.1 – 5.8 -point increase in environmental and social impact scores for every 10% increase in gender diversity in executive teams [5]

19 % -point increase in revenue innovation for companies with above-average diversity in executive teams [6]

Driving greater diversity today requires prioritising interventions that truly shift the needle rather than tick boxes. It calls for engaging a broader spectrum of leaders and stakeholders, and working with the hidden drivers of human behaviour to create inclusive environments.

It’s time for diverse leadership from within.
