If you would consider yourself a beginner in all things DEI, this category is for you. There's no shame in getting started only in 'not starting'. The support is here! It's time to get going on your DEI journey to help strengthen culture, improve bottom line, sustain growth, and document results. This is not a journey you have to embark on alone. Desire and action are required and the partnership is the benefit.

- “We are doing as much as we can, given the circumstances.”
- “Does any of this really matter, anyway?”
- “We have everything we were told we needed.”
You have all the necessary requirements. Your teams are in place, and you have had your ducks in a row for a long time, now. The challenge is there seems to be no real value. The environment seems the same, except for a few extra duties and responsibilities and you are missing the wow factor. If you are not getting an impactful, substantial return for all your investment and quickly, you do not see this effort being sustained or beneficial. It has already lost its benefit if it ever had one. You want to move beyond pure compliance.
