"Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed people can change the world.
Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has."

About The Institute

The Inclusive Leadership Institute (ILI) is an innovative, research-based learning and consulting firm committed to equipping leaders with the skills and insight they need to think about and address emerging, global challenges. 

Inclusive Leadership is a change methodology that enables leaders to take a whole systems perspective and identify levers for culture change.

Through a combination of learning, coaching, and consulting, we develop leaders that put human experiences and culture at the center of their solutions and change management practices.

PURPOSE

Now, and more than ever, we are being called to come together with intention and work to co-create a world and workplace where we all can thrive.

VISION

We aspire to connect a diverse network of changemakers, knowledge seekers, experts, and practitioners to explore what it means to live, work, and lead inclusively within a global community.

VALUE

We are a relationship-first organization that harnesses the power diversity to design solutions that meet you wherever you are, while propelling a journey of meaningful and measurable growth.

Message from our Managing Partner

Thank you for your interest in our institute, where we work to advance and promote the art and science of inclusive leadership.

I started to elaborate the notion of inclusive leadership in the late 1990s when working with IBM to ensure diversity and inclusion (D&I) work would resonate across the cultural context of its global matrix organisation. This work was recognized by ATD (then ASTD) and since then, the term has been increasingly adopted - usually in close association with a focus on Diversity, Equity and Inclusion. I have watched this evolution with mixed feelings. On one hand, it validated the discovery of contexting DE&I work differently and associating it with leadership; on the other, I found the association with narrowly defined Diversity to dilute its potential power and value to organisations that are increasingly challenged to respond to complex, unpredictable, and highly dynamic conditions.

Warmest Regards,
Jörg Schmitz
