APPROACH
Effectiveness
The path to an inclusive culture is unique to each company and requires a tailored approach.
Our Promise? Interactive, business-oriented and always culturally sensitive, because an international DE&I campaign must be adapted to cultural specificities, otherwise the effect will fizzle out.
Together with you, we will develop a sustainable DE&I culture that is anchored in your everyday work environment and will have a lasting impact. Whether management, executives, teams, recruiters or individual employees – we create suitable use cases, nudges and tools for each target group.

DE&I as a strategic competitive advantage
Our Strategy Consulting team supports clients on their individual journey to more diversity, equity, and inclusion through systemic analyses and customized learning formats. I discovered my passion for DE&I in Singapore, where I worked with neurodivergent students. The fact that small actions can make a big difference has been the driving force behind my work ever since, and neurodiversity is my absolute passion.

What our customers say about successfully implemented DE&I projects
The Unconscious Bias Workshop with Julia Bindrich far exceeded my expectations. I have rarely had such an exciting, effective and nice seminar, and the time invested has definitely paid off.

The cooperation with ICUnet on the topic of "Unconscious Bias" was a real co-creation. With their comprehensive expertise and the company-specific requirements of OTTO and bonprix, an interactive digital learning path and a practical full-day training for our colleagues were created. The result is an enlightening and low-threshold offer that encourages self-reflection and makes you curious - exactly what we were looking for! Cooperation at eye level that combined intensity and fun. Thank you!
