The Dagoba Group

The Dagoba Group is an integrated global Diversity, Inclusion and Engagement consulting practice with specialties in Unconscious Bias, Work-Life Balance, Leadership Dynamics, and Client Engagement. We help leaders take tangible next steps to enhance inclusion and optimize teams. There are 3 types of D&I firms: 1. Activist - working for civil change. 2. Academic - lecture on theory and philosophy. 3. Corporate - firmly rooted in the business case. We are decidedly a corporate D&I firm. We believe development should be practical, immediately applicable and provide a measurable return. Awareness is necessary, but not sufficient. Today's D&I conversation needs to focus on practical application. We are distinguished by our combination of powerful awareness activities grounded in the business case and leadership challenge. Our programs and services have been successfully delivered in the Americas, Europe, Africa, Asia and Australia with leading global corporations. Our best selling books, "The Inclusion Dividend: Why Investing in Diversity and Inclusion Pays Off", "SET for Inclusion: The Underlying Methodology for Achieving Your Inclusion Dividend" and "The Golden Apple: Re-Defining Work-Life Balance for a Diverse Workforce" are leveraged in university education programs, selected as core global conference texts and been leveraged by thousands of leaders around the world.
