    DEI is like Agile. There’s a right way and a wrong way to do it.

    The wrong way is profitable for consultants and easy for the company, so that is what gets implemented in most cases.

    The right way requires actual buy-in from C-staff down and needs constant work and adjustment to the specific company. There is no one size fits all solution. More work, less money. Very few companies do this.
