In the "Prepare" phase, we aim to understand the organisation as it is, build shared understanding, and create the conditions for inclusive delivery.
Support
- Initial conversations with senior leaders or key contacts to understand priorities, pressures, and drivers
- Exploration of organisational culture, confidence, and experience relating to inclusion
- Identification of what is already working well and where there is uncertainty or risk
- Early internal conversations within the organisation (e.g. HR, operations, managers)
- Agreement on scope, intent, and realistic next steps
Outcomes
- Create a clear picture of organisational readiness
- Gain a shared understanding of what inclusion means for this organisation
- Agree focus areas and a decision to proceed (or pause, if not ready)
-
Strong internal ownership has been identified and embedded.
