Inclusion is not some nebulous concept. It’s a critical business priority that stokes innovation and increases organizational performance in real terms. Therefore, it’s important that inclusion is strategic and efficient in process and deployment to arrive at the desired outcomes. Some might believe that inclusion means everyone has a voice on every matter or decision; which, if we’re honest, is a recipe for failure. Real inclusion prioritizes the impacted stakeholders and brings them into the decision-making process, and informs non-impacted stakeholders of what they’re doing in the most transparent way possible while also letting them know how it’s aligned with organizational values and business goals. 

No one is interested in an inclusion strategy that only leads to chaos and inefficiency. But according to the hosts of the Kaleidoscope Group’s Becoming Inclusion Podcast, many people are stumbling by trying to be too inclusive without a clear-cut understanding of their key stakeholders. In this episode, hosts Reggie Ponder and Kat Potts are joined by Kaleidoscope Group Consultant Mitch Brown for an extended conversation on this interesting and surprisingly complex topic.
