All Signs Pointing to the “How”
The ultimate mission of the DBD project:
To transform board diversity into a clear, actionable framework that organizations can use to make meaningful progress.
All those surveyed were asked the same question:
If there was a tool to help you enable deliberate diversity, what would it be?
90% of respondents expressed a need for clarity and structure to enable deliberate diversity, with a roadmap/toolkit supporting measurable discussions. However, enhancing board diversity must consider each organization’s unique needs and be adaptable to different contexts.
The 4 Pillars of The Deliberate Board Diversity Roadmap
Enabling deliberate board diversity is not a linear or sequential journey but rather a dynamic, iterative process that culminates in 4 main pillars for organizations to explore:
Governance Foundation
Establishing a robust governance framework for the board to understand its current state and guiding principles necessary to establish its board representation and practices.
Recruitment
Establishing robust board recruitment, nomination, and appointment practices to enable identification of diverse talent and membership through structured and transparent processes.
Integration
Providing new and existing board members with an inclusive experience that foster connection, belonging and continuous development, enabling all members to contribute fully.
Evaluation
The examination and measurement of the board's diversity, assessing both the individual board members and the board collectively, to understand and meet the organization's needs.
