‘The Power of Diversity’ management dialogue helps managers to determine a common course. What is diversity for our organisation? What is the value and necessity of diversity? What are our ambitions? Is there support? How can we make it a success? What would my role be? These are important questions for Managers, and Colourful People helps you answer them. This Management workshop begins with a stimulating and informative presentation about diversity in organisations. A dialogue follows. Together we gain insight into the organisation’s diversity policy by means of various propositions, and a shared and supported vision is developed through intense dialogue.

Diversity means making space for differences and utilizing them. Research shows that both the most and the least innovative teams often consist of diversity, to a large extent. It is leadership that makes the difference. In this training course managers learn how to effectively create and maintain diversely-composed teams.

With the diversity scan we check out how employees view diversity in your organisation. You get a good picture of the support for and the image of diversity. We also portray the diversity of your current personnel. With the help of this scan (the so-called Zero Measurement) you can decide which concrete measures are necessary for the diversity policy within your organisation.

 One of the most important challenges for HR professionals and managerial staff is Strategic Talent Management. Which talents fit your organisation? How can you identify and develop them, and finally, how can you keep them loyal to your organisation? In order to manage talent (recruit, develop and keep), it has to be clear what development phase the enterprise or organisation is in, as does the organisation’s vision for the future. Is the right talent in-house in order to meet those expectations? You receive effective tools to translate talent management into practical application within your own organisation.
