Consultancy

As part of the process to embed the Maturity Matrix, we offer dedicated consultancy to help you audit your business, devise or align strategy and facilitate the next steps in actioning the recommendations.
We also have a proven track record in helping organisations instigate, gather and effectively assess HR Data and employee surveys to effectively monitor your organisation’s progress.

Training & coaching

All training sessions can be designed to fit your strategy and identified gaps. Sessions are either delivered as high impact conferences, individual sessions or fuller programmes to fit your requirements and budget. We have run in-house programmes across all sectors globally.

If you are ready to embark on a deeper dive into race and ethnicity, commit to action on behalf of your organisation, for leaders and directly for BAME talent, we can help you.
