I would love to see content and hear insights on how we can expand measuring diversity beyond gender, age, race, and the other typical ways that companies measure diversity, and how to effectively measure these.

We all think we know about equality, diversity and inclusion, but this course opened my eyes to many other dimensions so much so, that I feel I can now contribute to making workplaces more inclusive. Acknowledging that I am person of privilege has made me see my own career success to date very differently. Since completing the course, its principles have helped me in my everyday life, an unexpected bonus.

The material was very informative, and bite-sized parcels were delivered. However, more references could have been provided regarding the impact of diverse teams, as there are still many Luddites in powerful positions—much like the Chairman of KPMG.
