Promoting diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) within organizations will only be successful if we have a deep understanding of the complex systems and structures that perpetuate inequity.
These systems can include policies, procedures, culture and norms that shape how an organization operates and how individuals interact with one another.
Systems change mindset allows those working to promote DEI to take a holistic view of an organization and identify the interconnected factors that contribute to inequity.
By examining these systems, we can identify the root causes of inequity and develop targeted strategies to address them, rather than simply addressing symptoms or individual incidents of discrimination.
