ISO-30415:DISM
Forum

The Diversity & Inclusion Service Management Forum is the independent peer reviewed body of subject matter experts in the standards of diversity equity inclusion & belonging (D&I).

The advisory board is made of of authors, academics, practitioners, regulators and standards writers from across the globe who are invested in the professionalization of D&I as an industry. The DISM Forum was quickly formed in May of 2021 after the publication of ISO-30415:2021 in order to produce a D&I book of knowledge (DIBoK) for training and certification courses starting in North America, most notably under the advisement of Dawn Bennett-Alexander, Professor Emeritus at the University of Georgia's Terry College of Business. 

The DISM Forum was initially started in 2021 because of the inherent protectionism and exclusion designed into the majority certifying bodies across the globe. As we tried to streamline and industrialize inclusivity across 20 different nations, we experienced pushback, conflicts of interest, and abject discrimination. Per that experience, we democratized the writing of all standards by building a coalition of standards experts that dwarfed every regulatory known regulatory body. As we disagree and refine the standard of standards, we have become the people powered standard that is necessary to professionally integrate our organized societies.

Effenus Henderfson at Tolerance and Inclusivity Conference.jpeg

We'll start with the convener of the architecture, Effenus Henderson. He'll consider the push-back on DEI&B initiatives globally as a rise in conservatism has tried to erase the progress made by our corporate world. If you've been reading his most recent essays, you know that there are both standardization opportunities and risks to doing nothing.
