Book description

A practical blueprint for successful, measurable, and impactful DEI initiatives

In Data-Driven DEI: The Tools and Metrics You Need to Measure, Analyze, and Improve Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion, Dr. Randal Pinkett, a renowned diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) thought leader delivers a practical and evidence-based blueprint to achieving lasting impact with your DEI initiatives. Dr. Pinkett has created a simple, step-by-step process to assess the current state of your DEI, analyze that data to create a personal and organizational action plan, and implement data-driven, science-based, and technology-enabled interventions for greater diversity, equity, and inclusion. The book provides:

  • Tools and instruments to assess your personal preferences and competencies as well as your organizational culture, climate, policies, and practices
  • Strategies and proven practices to mitigate bias, improve decision-making, foster innovation, and expand thinking preferences, cultural competence, inclusive leadership, allyship and more
  • A library of measures, metrics, and key performance indicators (KPIs) to gauge progress, evaluate results and demonstrate impact

An indispensable resource for individual contributors, managers, executives, founders, entrepreneurs, and other business leaders, Data-Driven DEI deserves a place on the bookshelf of any professional seeking to have a real-world impact that delivers personal and organizational results.
