The Mobilise Programme is designed to futureproof leaders, build inclusive cultures and create a system change in Diversity, Equity and Inclusion

Diversity, Equity and Inclusion efforts have historically focused energy and resources on supporting and empowering underrepresented and marginalised groups to achieve more equitable outcomes in a working system that is not setup for them to succeed.

Across the world progress has been slow - for women in leadership and other dimensions and intersectionalities of identity. It’s time for that to change. What if we stopped trying to fix women and focused on fixing the system?

In recent years, an increased understanding of the powerful impact of male allies at work and at home has led many organisations to recognise men as allies as a critical component of their diversity and inclusion efforts. Men who are allies for colleagues are crucial partners in achieving gender equality. Without that partnership, it’s much harder to address the barriers and inequalities that women and other underrepresented groups face.

This is a journey we’re all on together and this programme is designed to unite everyone around a common goal, find their why in this mahi and commit to making a difference for themselves and others.

The next horizon of DEI strategy is to engage and mobilise the majority identity groups as allies and inclusive leaders within your organisation. This is system change – at scale.

Our co-facilitated signature programme, Mobilise is the first of its kind in Aotearoa, New Zealand specifically designed for men. Available as a bespoke programme codesigned with you to bring in house or as a public course option for your individual leaders.

We bring men together to cultivate their inclusive leadership presence, learn the art of allyship and mobilise a community of inclusive leaders inside your organisation to break down systems of bias and share power with others.
