Many organizational leaders seeking to improve DEI (diversity, equity, and inclusion) point to “the pipeline problem” as a reason for a lack of diversity in their organizations.

It furthermore assumes that the problem is primarily external, ignoring opportunities for internal growth. We offer an alternative solution to the pipeline problem that prioritizes internal equity and inclusion rather than diversity in and of itself. Read article (PDF) >
