The Age of Encoding

Last newsletter, we questioned whether the political landscape was affecting our business. It's safe to say our hunch was probably true.

While we've met a lot of individuals who are personally invested in DEI, unfortunately the companies they work for do not endorse the same values. Many organisations fear of the consequences of choosing to invest in diversity, precisely because they don't know what these measures might look like. Volatility has been the theme of this Trump administration. 

We declare this era the age of encoding. If no one can visibly invest in DEI, then this work will have to go underground. Rebrand, shape-shift, make a diversity chameleon. We need to find ways of creating equity without them realising what we're doing. Because the one thing we've learned from centuries of social change, is that this work is not going away. Period.
