Course Overview
The hardest part of equal opportunity policy is rarely deciding — it is holding the decision when it becomes unpopular. Teams read what their leaders tolerate on the wider organisational leadership agenda far more accurately than what their leaders announce. Participants come from operational and oversight roles, and both perspectives on this aspect of organisational leadership are used deliberately. Participants take away a working set of documents supporting equal opportunity policy, ready to be adapted internally. Organisations that document this part of organisational leadership properly resolve disputes about it far more quickly. It establishes a shared vocabulary for this aspect of organisational leadership so that teams can disagree productively about it. Buying a tool rarely fixes equal opportunity policy; the underlying capability has to be built internally first. Sessions alternate between guided analysis of the wider organisational leadership agenda and supervised application. The final session converts the week's work on the organisational leadership discipline into commitments with owners and dates.
