Change Management & Governance
MindTribes’ Change Management & Governance advisory helps organisations to align DEI initiatives seamlessly with existing systems, ensuring sustainable and impactful outcomes.
What is change management and governance in DEI?
Effective change management and governance are critical for embedding DEI principles within an organisation. This involves integrating DEI initiatives into the fabric of the company’s operations, from strategic planning to everyday processes. At MindTribes, we help organisations navigate this transformation, ensuring that changes are not only implemented but also sustained over time.
A component of change management is communications. At MindTribes, we understand the importance of clear, culturally aware, and impactful communication. Our diversity consultants and advisory services help organisations develop and implement communication strategies that support their DEI goals and engage their workforce meaningfully.
By leveraging behavioural psychology and cultural responsiveness, MindTribes assists organisations in crafting messages that promote inclusivity, address implicit biases, and foster a sense of belonging among all employees. We ensure that your communications are aligned with your DEI strategy and resonate with your diverse workforce.
Through our Change Management & Governance services, we assist organisations in creating structures and processes that support DEI goals, fostering a culture of inclusivity and accountability.

Case Study
A leading pharmaceutical company engaged MindTribes to develop a comprehensive Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion (ED&I) strategy post-merger. The primary goal was to create a unified, inclusive culture reflecting the diversity of its workforce and patient base. The company faced challenges in integrating diverse cultures, enhancing leaders’ cultural literacy, and overcoming structural barriers that limited the representation of CALD (Culturally and Linguistically Diverse) employees in leadership roles.
MindTribes implemented a three-phase approach. The first phase involved collecting and analysing quantitative and qualitative data to identify key focus areas, using activities to gather employee experiences and metrics. In the second phase, a comprehensive inclusion strategy was designed, aligning with the company’s innovation and growth goals. This phase included establishing an ED&I council, delivering inclusion capability workshops, and creating diverse employee representative groups. The final phase operationalised the strategy through regular workshops, continuous engagement, and providing toolkits and frameworks for leaders.
The engagement led to significant improvements. Leaders enhanced their understanding and ability to address cultural diversity, and the representation of CALD employees in leadership roles increased. The inclusion strategy became integrated into all business practices, ensuring sustainability. The bottom-up approach empowered employees, resulting in higher engagement and a stronger sense of belonging.
MindTribes’ strategic, data-driven approach enabled the pharmaceutical company to transform its organisational culture, making it more inclusive and reflective of its diverse workforce and patient base. This case underscores the importance of strategic alignment, comprehensive training, and continuous engagement for achieving sustainable diversity and inclusion outcomes.
