Board of Director
First of all; thank you for writing this extremely important white paper. As the world is run by money, making the DEI "talk money" is now more important than ever.
DEI-Ambassador | Head of Marketing
In the ever evolving landscape of DEI, Vikram offers you key actionable insights as to how to measure your DEI initiatives, obtain impact, and receive value in return.
Host of Environmental Social Justice
The ROI of DEI. Does it exist? Can DEI be quantified and distilled into a relative return? Unequivocally, the answer is yes. A deeper question is, 'How do you accomplish this'? This white paper will help practitioners do just that: quantify the ROI. Thanks to Vikram Shetty for taking the lead on this.
Certified Diversity Executive
It’s full of clearly evidenced good advice, so I imagine that DEI consultants will find it very valuable.
Certified facilitator of LEGO® SERIOUS PLAY®
I firmly believe your White Paper validates the fact that a deeper understanding of DEIB is needed to understand it's impact on business ROI and the bottom line. ROI of DEI can act as the foundation for DEIB initiatives, overall infrastructure and development of policies and procedures.
DEIB Speaker
Vikram, you are definitely on to something here, and adding a reference/comparable to a similar industry that is not aligning business metrics to the ROI of DEI would be a powerful addition in a discovery conversation with your model.
AVP, National Diversity Council
It was such a well-written paper, so well done on that! I really liked that the gap between DEI and business value was bridged. It was helpful that there were also credible studies that supported this.
DEI Consultant
I've read your whitepaper and can see the value of having the framework and scorecard to measure DEI and the ROI of it. So, I can understand how DEI Consultants would use this to support them in their conversations with clients. I already use a framework and scorecard in my consultancy, so I recognise this as a game-changer when working with clients.
Inclusive Culture Change Leader
Your suggestion to demonstrate the ROI of DEI is crucial. The idea of an assessment framework tailored for corporate buyers is excellent, and the overall tone is professional and informative.
Academic Researcher
Vikram Shetty's ROI of DEI is a must read for any DEI consultancy and practitioner. The white paper offers a step by step guide on how to help commissioners see the value of DEI work, and helps you go well beyond “you should do this because it is the right thing to do”. An invaluable resource.
EDI Consultant
Leading with business ROI of DEI is always a good starting point, and this white paper shows you how to do it. The best part of the white paper is that it has designed the framework using the KISS (Keep It Simple, Silly) method. The simplicity of the diagram's explanation makes it easy to understand. I can see how this can be a powerful tool for the consultant during a sales interview. I really appreciated the white paper that I have utilized in my workplace assessments
Psychological H&S Consultant
DEI consultants can now use this simple questionnaire structure to define relevant business-driven DEI metrics, not just aligning these metrics back to the business results but also showcasing how these will contribute to the desired ROI for the business. It is a great cheat sheet, indeed.
DEI Business Process Expert
Great white paper, Vikram! My key takeaway is that we need to move away from “one size fits all” approaches to DEI consulting. Positive business outcomes can only be achieved with targeted and tailored DEI initiatives. And a sure way to figure out what a business truly needs is to conduct an assessment. Love it!
Founder of DEI Pro Finder
I love how this white paper provides a practical approach to demonstrating the ROI of DEI initiatives. The step-by-step guide to creating an ROI of DEI assessment is particularly helpful, offering a structured framework for consultants to effectively showcase the tangible benefits of their work. I think this can support internal DEI leaders looking to make the business case for their work as well! I highly recommend this white paper to anyone seeking to make a more compelling case for DEI.
DEI Practitioner
This white paper puts the psychodynamic approach into a business context in a very satisfying way. When approaching a consulting project, we must consider the emotional life of the organisation in order to make sustainable change, and that means addressing the unconscious motivations of the decision-makers. This can often feel vulnerable for leaders, and what Shetty has done here, is reframe the questions so that we can deliver a change project that suits not just their goals, but their drives. It's so exciting to have this in the world, and I look forward to seeing the change it will make.
Accessibility Consultant
The white paper is excellent! Most of my work falls under these frameworks. For those that are looking to escalate to more technical DEI work and strategy, this resource will help elevate your work.
DEI Consultant | Outdoor Industry
The white paper is really helpful - appreciate you sharing it. As a DEI and Social Impact Measurement consultant based in Australia, I believe it will be a really useful resource for communicating the importance of DEI and engaging the corporate sector.
DEI Consultant
This white paper gave me a TON to think about - so thank you for that (blows through the rest of the day and not looking at my to do list...)
