ADVANCED CORE COURSE
Collaborating through DEI -Nene Molefi
Advanced inclusion, diversity and anti-discrimination approaches within a global corporate/organisational context
OVERVIEW
Collaborative DEI—internally across all elements of the organisation as well as externally with customers and other stakeholders—serves several mutually reinforcing purposes that allow organisations to model what they aspire to achieve.
In this two-day Advanced Core course, you will be immersed in an interactive, hands-on learning experience to put collaborative diversity, equity, and inclusion into action within your organisation—or those of your clients. You’ll gain practical tools and processes for creating Psychological Safety and strategies for helping all your stakeholders act and lead inclusively within a global context.
Join this course so you, together with all stakeholders, can better participatively develop collaborative DEI strategies that align with evidence-based DEI best practices.

Organisations can implement DEI initiatives in an attempt to actually make an impact…or simply to be seen as making an impact.
In the case of the latter, organisations are half-heartedly paying lip service to DEI while creating none to little real positive outcome.
For organisations that are serious about making their environments more equitable by understanding and leveraging diversity and promoting inclusion, DEI works best when it is a collaborative undertaking across the entire organisation. This has an additional benefit of allowing organisations to improve how they work cross functionally and in different configurations.
In this two-day course, you will learn how to do this by exploring a six-step process: (1) following a systemic process and roadmap to guide the DEI journey and create sustainability, (2) demonstrating that Psychological Safety is the centerpiece of DEI work, (3) highlighting linkages between the overall organisational strategy, talent management, and DEI initiatives, (4) making the case for expending resources on DEI initiatives by highlighting the Business Imperative of DEI, underpinned by every organisation’s need to excel, (5) cultivating respect and understanding between diverse individuals and groups in the organisation for high performance, and (6) integrating diverse values into the organisation’s culture, systems, and policies.
Join this course to help your organisation—or those of your clients if you are an external consultant—gain tools for
- Self-awareness and introspection on blind-spots related to Diversity, Equity & Inclusion,
- Creating an inclusive culture within the organization using the 15 different categories in the Global Diversity Equity & Inclusion Benchmarks,
- Personal commitments and concrete action planning to foster greater inclusion.
In this course, you will learn how to help yourself—and those you work with—so that you/they can better:
- Appreciate the concepts of Rank, Power and Privilege and how one can use rank positively to effect change and advance DEI.
- Recognise the impact of Unconscious Bias and the words leaders use (intent vs impact).
- Understand the importance of inner (individual) work as a foundation for leading inclusively.
- Identify and discuss barriers to leading inclusively and to develop individual and group commitments to address these barriers.
- Integrate a ‘Head, Heart and Hands’ approach in leading transformation, diversity, and inclusion.
- Work holistically and collaboratively on DEI within an organisation across functionals and departments.
We will use a highly interactive, hands-on approach in which you’ll learn the theory and then try out various practices and tools to address a real workplace challenge which you’ll actively work on with your peers to discuss and share how you would approach such a challenge using a holistic approach to DEI.
