We integrate the ‘E’ and ‘S’
Diversity, Equity + Inclusion (DEI) and Environment, Social + Governance (ESG) are complex, challenging, and evolving fields. The “E” and the “S” in particular — Equity and Social — have proven to be the most difficult to measure, gain consensus around, and improve. They are also the key to self-sustaining results, lasting value, and business performance.
Our unique approach integrates a company’s purpose, business objectives with their DEI + ESG strategies. This system-level diagnosis, planning and integrated solutions reduces recurring problems and prevents backlash.
We give purpose a CLEAR PATH to impact
Whether you call it your purpose, your mission statement, or your North Star, articulating how your company wants to make the world a better place is only the first step.
We make your purpose relevant and actionable. Bringing together key systems inside and outside of your business to operationalize core values, we infuse purpose into your business strategy, and guide you along the path to becoming ‘purpose-led.’
About our approach
1. Integrated Planning
Focusing on the human experience inside and out, we evaluate the inequities impacting your employees, customers, and community. We use that system-level understanding to design integrated and effective plans, tailored to your business.
2. Strategic Implementation
We upskill your team with training and tools to measure and disrupt inequities, as well as provide you with a strategic roadmap to guide you on efficient and effective implementation. Simply put, we help you deliver what you need, when it counts.
3. Self-sustaining Results
Using aligned and reinforcing strategies to integrate equity + social impact into how you do business creates a self-sustaining system that prevents problems and unlocks business benefits, from competitiveness in raising funds to market share growth.
About Carolyn Lawrence
Carolyn has spent the last two decades focused on fixing inequities in the workforce and believes that the next level in this space is to integrate equity right into how you do business, so inequities don’t occur in the first place.
Her career journey began at Women of Influence, a social enterprise focused on gender equity, where she succeeded the founder and spent a decade diversifying revenue and growing reach.
Recognizing corporate culture had to evolve to move the needle on gender equity, she sold the business and joined Deloitte to establish and build their National DEI consulting practice. In that role, she developed strategy, programs, and implementation for clients across finance, technology, law, health care, mining, venture capital, the public sector, and more.
Having proven her ability to initiate transformative change, Carolyn was tapped to become the first Global DEI Leader at Deloitte, responsible for driving equity and a culture of inclusion across 50+ geographies, and 21 business units.
After 8 years at the firm, she's chosen to leverage her wealth of experience, extensive exposure, and profound expertise to help organizations of all sizes address the foremost obstacles to achieving human equity — and optimize their business.
