Build a roadmap, tailored to your organisation’s individual situation
Join us for an engaging, entertaining and educational day that will lead you in co-creating an inclusion roadmap for your organisation with other strategic partners.
ABC brings you a day with renowned experts on inclusion and, using our proprietary Inclusive Innovation Framework (developed in partnership with Yohlar) the day will include a series of workshops and exercises that will leave you with a validated action plan to accelerate your JEDI (Justice, Equity, Diversity and Inclusion) powers!
Our #InclusionByDefault campaign aims to help make the North East the most inclusive region in the UK by 2025.
Whilst we have engaged and supported a wide range of initiatives and activities focused on Inclusion, Inclusive Growth and Inclusive Productivity, we now need your assistance to help us to unlock the barriers to success. We cannot achieve this ambition alone.

Inclusive organisations are twice as likely to exceed financial targets. Deloitte states inclusive businesses achieve 8 times better outcomes, and Forbes notes quicker decision-making in inclusive processes.
Despite challenges in the North East, including workplace discrimination and low diversity, creating an inclusive workplace goes beyond diverse hiring.
