In this episode of DEI Will Not Die, Dr Bree Gorman gets candid about why so many DEI strategies fail, and how to create one that actually sparks change. From shifting the focus from “fixing people” to fixing systems, to avoiding the trap of vague metrics and tokenistic actions, Bree shares practical insights to make your plan both realistic and impactful. They discuss why too many actions can backfire, the importance of organisation-wide ownership, and how good governance keeps a plan alive. Whether you’re building a DEI plan from scratch or refreshing an existing one, this episode will challenge the way you think about strategy and help you avoid the pitfalls that keep DEI work from moving forward.
