“Inclusion is a mindset. The Inclusive Innovation Playbook gives concrete recommendations how you can integrate that mindset into your organisation's culture.”
“Truly embracing diversity and inclusion demands not only a change in our work practices, but also the courage to confront systemic issues that produce and reproduce exclusion. This playbook offers a valuable focussed starting point for tackling the complexities of exclusion and marginalisation within digital products and services to create a more equitable future. ”
“The playbook is accessible, comprehensive and thorough, covering a range of topics and themes. It is a useful tool for organisations and individuals, at any stage of their inclusion journey. It outlines considerations for internal inclusive practice, while also encouraging users to embed inclusive approaches into their engagement with customers, clients, service and product users.”
“Shelter are committed to becoming an anti-racist organisation. For the digital design team we are challenging how we do research and design so that we can design services and experiences for all the people that need us or want to support us. We will use this resource, particularly the ‘actions’ as guidance as we continue to improve our own practices and processes so that we can deliver equitable products, services and content.”
“The Inclusive innovation playbook is a very thought-provoking read. It conveys a really powerful idea that product inclusion and equity and good user experience are really one and the same - ensuring everyone feels seen. The playbook has given us lots of actionable ideas for change, from connecting inclusion to our mission and purpose, asking better questions in our retros and considering a wider range of personas. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking to create more inclusive digital products.”
“"I highly recommend The Inclusive Innovation Playbook for anyone seeking practical guidance on creating impactful and inclusive solutions. It offers invaluable insights and strategies that can transform how we approach innovation and shape a more equitable future."”
“A huge thanks to Diversily for creating the inspiring Innovation Playbook. I'm using the Glossary section as often as ChatGTP (almost 😇 ).”
