RESEARCH shows that diverse leadership organisations improve company performance by 19% or more, and unlock innovation. In the corporate world, that represents an increase in revenue, competitive advantage, and more significant innovation; for government organisations, mirroring the changing demographic of Ireland demonstrates a better integrated and aligned state.
OUR MISSION as a social enterprise is to increase the participation and representation of black leaders in Irish and Ireland-based organisations, by providing advisory services to help enhance and accelerate their objectives in the hiring, career development, engagement, and retention of black leaders.
