FAQ
Most frequently asked questions and answers
Include Inc. takes a refreshingly pragmatic, science-backed approach to culture and inclusion. Unlike traditional DEI consultancies that focus primarily on awareness and representation, we integrate behavioral science, risk management, and business strategy to create real, measurable impact. We don’t believe in performative DEI or vague culture initiatives—we provide clear, action-driven strategies that align with organizational goals, leadership priorities, and long-term success. Our work is built on proven frameworks like SPACE™, the 8-Inclusion Needs of All People®, and the Include Change Method™, ensuring that culture change and inclusion are embedded into the way organizations operate, not treated as separate initiatives.
Most DEI and culture change efforts fail because they focus too much on awareness and not enough on action. Many organizations invest in training programs, employee resource groups, or diversity pledges without embedding inclusion into their systems, policies, leadership behaviors, and decision-making processes. At Include Inc., we take a strategic, results-driven approach that ensures inclusion and culture transformation become sustainable, measurable, and integral to business success. Our frameworks provide practical tools, leadership training, and AI-powered solutions that help organizations drive accountability and long-term change. Rather than treating culture and inclusion as side projects, we embed them into governance, compliance, and leadership accountability.
Yes! We understand that some organizations face challenges around language and political perceptions of DEI, which is why our approach is strategic, practical, and business-aligned. Instead of focusing on labels that may create resistance, we emphasize performance, risk reduction, leadership capability, and employee engagement. Our work is about creating thriving, high-performing workplaces that benefit everyone, rather than forcing ideological compliance. Instead of traditional DEI terminology, we focus on clarity, accountability, and leadership-driven culture transformation. We help organizations integrate inclusive decision-making, fair and equitable leadership, and psychologically safe environments in ways that are practical, non-divisive, and aligned with business success.
Include Inc. partners with organizations across industries and leadership levels that want to build thriving cultures and inclusive workplaces. We work closely with Executive teams, HR, DEI, and culture leaders who are responsible for designing and implementing inclusion strategies. We also collaborate with C-suite executives, leadership teams, and business strategists to embed culture change into broader business initiatives. Additionally, we work with compliance, risk, and legal teams to ensure that inclusion aligns with corporate governance and risk management goals. For conferences and industry events, Dr. Liz Wilson delivers high-impact keynotes and leadership advisory sessions that inspire and equip professionals to create lasting change.
We offer both short-term and long-term solutions depending on your organization’s needs. If you’re looking for an immediate impact, we offer leadership workshops, culture and inclusion assessments, and keynote speaking engagements that provide actionable insights and practical takeaways. For organizations committed to sustainable transformation, we provide long-term consulting, strategic inclusion implementation, and executive coaching to embed cultural and inclusion strategies across leadership and operations.
