What is the Implementation-Focused Engineering Diversity course about?
In high-growth tech environments, traditional DEI programs lag behind structural change. Engineering leaders are expected to deliver inclusion outcomes without implementation tools, leaving strategy disconnected from execution, especially during M&A cycles where culture, systems, and teams converge rapidly.
