{"product_id":"inclusion-breakthrough-isbn-9781576751398","title":"Inclusion Breakthrough","description":"Constant, continuing, and cataclysmic change is causing a major crisis within business organizations today. Faced with constantly advancing technology, unpredictable market shifts, intense global competition, and an increasingly independent \"free agent\" workforce, the only way for an organization to adapt and succeed is to build a \"culture of inclusion\" that nurtures and draws on the talents of a diverse workforce.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Easy to say but hard to do; most organizations are mired in industrial revolution, static-world business models administered by monocultural, bordering-on-oppressive, \"command and control\" hierarchies. Organizations at risk include Fortune 500 giants, entrepreneurial start-ups, manufacturing and retail operations, government agencies, not-for-profits, educational institutions, and others.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Most organizational change efforts-whether labeled as diversity efforts, re-engineering, right-sizing, or total-quality-management-are a waste of time, money, and human effort. Most produce more cynicism than results, and they can poison the waters for future change efforts. The Inclusion Breakthrough cuts a path through this potential minefield, offering a proven methodology for strategic organizational change, including models for diagnosing, planning, and implementing inclusion-focused, culture-change strategies tailored to each organization's individual needs. It also describes the key competencies for leading and sustaining a culture of inclusion.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Offering real-world results of \"before and after\" surveys, including anecdotal and statistical reports of organizational change achieved using the methodologies described, The Inclusion Breakthrough presents an overview of current workplace conditions, attitudes, and policies based on interviews, surveys, and focus groups encompassing thousands of people in major organizations. The Inclusion Breakthrough demonstrates why the bottom line must be the central focus of any change strategy-and more importantly, how to carry that strategy out successfully.Foreword by Doug West   \u003cbr\u003e Preface   \u003cbr\u003e Acknowledgments \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Part 1 — The Need for an Inclusion Breakthrough   \u003cbr\u003e Chapter One: Diversity in a Box   \u003cbr\u003e Chapter Two: Positioning for Radical Change\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Part 2 — The Elements of an Inclusion Breakthrough\u003cbr\u003e Chapter Three: New Competencies\u003cbr\u003e Chapter Four: Enabling Policies and Practices\u003cbr\u003e Chapter Five: Leveraging a Diverse Workforce\u003cbr\u003e Chapter Six: Community and Social Responsibility\u003cbr\u003e Chapter Seven: Enhanced Value to the Marketplace   \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Part 3 —Creating an Inclusion Breakthrough\u003cbr\u003e Chapter Eight: Building the Platform for Change\u003cbr\u003e Chapter Nine: Creating Momentum \u003cbr\u003e Chapter Ten: Making Diversity and Inclusion a Way of Life\u003cbr\u003e Chapter Eleven: Leveraging Learning and Challenging the New Status Quo\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Conclusion: Breaking Out of the Box\u003cbr\u003e Glossary   \u003cbr\u003e References   \u003cbr\u003e Index“The Inclusion Breakthrough provides a practical framework for how organizations can truly leverage diversity as part of the business strategy, rather than as an add-on program.
