An Anglo American company &

a leader in the diamond industry.

During a period of major organisational change, De Beers relaunched its Equity, Diversity & Inclusion (EDI) Council. With 20 diverse employees stepping up to lead, they needed clarity, confidence, and a strategy to influence the business.

‍

Lack of clarity and influence
Varied leadership confidence and cohesion
Pressure to show impact fast

Without support, the Council risked stalling just when the business needed inclusion and collaboration the most.

The Results.

Before

The Council lacked clarity, confidence, and a shared voice.

After 12 months

80% of managers reported feeling prepared to speak to stakeholders, and the Council achieved an NPS of 60, clear signs of confidence, trust, and impact.

‍

We achieved the following

‍

A clear vision and strategic framework in place from day one
Stronger leadership skills in influence, delivery, and communication
Collaboration and cohesion across the Council
A measurable action plan aligned with De Beers’ business strategy
Greater confidence embedding DEI into global operations
60% “extremely prepared” to speak to stakeholders, 20% “very prepared”
NPS of 60 reflecting strong trust and satisfaction

This leadership approach gets results.

Our Council gained clarity, confidence, and a measurable strategy aligned with business goals. Dean’s leadership expertise strengthened collaboration and equipped us to drive change with inclusion at the core.
