Inclusion needs a new compass

​Thoughtful, practical support for leaders, organizations and governments

who ​want inclusion to work - not simply as a policy exercise,

but in all aspects of work and life, for everyone.

Where does inclusion go next?


For over 25 years, Diversiton was best known for its Inclusion Calendars. We worked with leading organisations around the world, providing bespoke, Outlook, online and printed resources that helped people understand and celebrate different traditions, beliefs, cultures and communities.

That chapter has now closed - but the need for inclusion has never been greater.

We are bringing everything we have learned into a new phase of strategic advice, practical support and fresh thinking about how we live and work together.

Thank you to our colleagues and clients!

A new compass for inclusion


Inclusion is no longer simply about compliance, policies or traditional diversity programmes. It is about how we live and work together: how we build relationships, strengthen collaboration, create opportunities and ensure that no one is left behind.

The challenges are also changing. How do we create employment and participation in a rapidly changing world? How do we respond to artificial intelligence in ways that are fair, humane and inclusive? How do organisations build genuine belonging across their workplaces and the communities they serve?
​

Diversiton, led by its founder Des McCabe, helps organisations explore these questions and turn their thinking into practical action.

"Inclusion is made real through each of us
reaching out to others - without preconditions or preferences, reliably and consistently."

How we can help​


Strategic advice and support
Ongoing, trusted support for leaders, senior teams, funders and governments developing strategies, navigating change or working through complex inclusion challenges.

Facilitated conversations and workshops
Participative half-day and full-day sessions that challenge assumptions, open new perspectives and help people agree practical priorities and actions.

Participation, employment and the future of work
Strategic support around economic inclusion, community participation, collaboration, artificial intelligence and the changing world of work.

Coaching, briefings and keynotes
Individual and team coaching, strategic briefings and keynote contributions offering fresh perspectives on what inclusion now requires and what practical progress could look like.

There is no standard Diversiton package. We begin with the challenge you are facing and work with you to develop a practical response that fits your organisation and circumstances.

Rethinking Inclusion​


Many traditional approaches to diversity and inclusion have struggled to create lasting change. Policies and leadership commitments matter, but inclusion ultimately becomes real through everyday relationships, individual responsibility and collective action.

Rethinking Inclusion is a facilitated development process that helps organisations move beyond compliance and build a more participative, collaborative and inclusive culture.

It can be delivered as a focused leadership workshop or as a longer coaching and development process shaped around your organisation’s priorities

Let's start with a conversation


Every organisation and every situation is different. Tell us what you are trying to change, what needs to change, what opportunity you can see - or who may be getting left behind.

We will listen, explore the challenge with you and consider a practical way forward.
