WE ASPIRE TO ACHIEVE: 

• More Trust that perspectives are welcomed, valued, and celebrated​ 
• More Awareness​ of diverse backgrounds in the workplace as well as ways to practice intentional inclusion​ 
• More Impact​ on our team, clients, partners, and greater community ​ 

EDUCATION

Ovative’s development program, ELEVATE, has developed educational curriculum focused on gender and race. This curriculum includes tools to increase self-awareness and spark conversations to broaden our perspectives, including the following: 

EDUCATION​ 

An online communication channel for individuals to share books, videos, articles, and ideas to drive change regarding race and gender in workplace and in the world. 

PERSPECTIVES​ 

An ongoing speaker series of diverse business leaders joining the Ovative team for intimate chats that reveal their experiences throughout their careers to broaden our team’s perspectives.   

EXPERIENTIAL FORUMS​ 

Intentional opportunities to gather together and share life experiences, digest intent versus impact, and reflect on how individual behaviors can change to be more inclusive within, and beyond our walls.

Using these tools, we aim to develop a team of educated, impactful individuals who are actively challenging their biases both in their work at Ovative and in their lives.​
