The author demonstrates how diversity and inclusion (D&I) can be lived and implemented in companies, offering solutions for typical challenges such as unclear priorities or effective stakeholder management. A key focus is on practical tools that help adapt the approach to the specific conditions of one's own organization. After providing an overview of current approaches, significant global trends, and the state of research, she illustrates, based on a classic change management model, which aspects must be considered during planning and implementation, how to engage allies, and how to develop and implement a successful D&I strategy.
