We combine analysis, strategy and practical learning into DEI work built around your organisation, with results you can measure.

25+ years of experience in diversity, equity and inclusion
180 countries, on every continent, where our work has reached

Bespoke, from day one

We don’t believe in off-the-shelf solutions. We take time to understand your organisation, then shape the work around your business goals. Your senior leaders take part from the start, in the strategy and in the learning, so they become champions of the change rather than spectators.

A one-size-fits-all approach

A generic programme that can miss the mark
A strategy handed over, then left to you
New initiatives that compete with what you already run

The GDP way

Solutions crafted for your context, sector and goals
A long-term partner through implementation and beyond
Work that complements and reinforces your existing efforts

Our core consulting services

From global organisations to charities and start-ups, every engagement is built from these services, in the order your organisation needs them.

Printed bar and line charts on a desk, with "Business items" written on the page.

DEI Audits

Interviews, focus groups and close analysis of your data and documents show where you stand, and become the foundation for action.

DEI Surveys

Quantitative and qualitative surveys set a baseline, show where to develop, and let you track progress over time.

DEI Benchmarking

Using tools such as the Global Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Benchmarks (GDEIB), see how your progress compares with your industry.

DEI Strategy Development

A roadmap with clear goals, benchmarks and action plans, driven by your business objectives and shaped with your leaders.

Employee Networks

Workshops, training and ongoing support that help working groups, Employee Resource Groups and Inclusion Champions drive change.

Executive Coaching

One-to-one and group coaching that equips your leaders to become effective DEI champions.

We also carry out evidence-based research on under-researched diversity topics, and design end-to-end sponsorship and mentorship programmes that connect your diverse talent with experienced leaders.

What a tailored strategy does for your business

A generic approach wastes time and resources and can erode trust. Our consultancy works with your existing HR, talent and ESG initiatives, so DEI becomes part of how you run the business. It helps you:

Align your DEI goals with your business strategy
Attract and retain talent from a broad range of backgrounds
Develop a pipeline of diverse leaders
Bring diverse perspectives to innovation, decisions and problem-solving
Build an inclusive culture that drives engagement and productivity
Show a genuine commitment to DEI in your employer brand

Partners for the long term

We don’t hand over a strategy and walk away. We set up frameworks for continuous learning, then stay with you through manager training, ongoing consultancy, scalable digital learning and executive coaching. Many of our clients have worked with us for years.

Thank you very much for making such an important contribution to our D&I efforts. It was great to have you join us and help us increase momentum.”
