REVIIS
ADVANCE Partnership:
Raising Equity Values with the Inclusive Professional Framework and ISO DEI Standards in Societies (REVIIS)
We brought together a world class team of engineers, educators, psychologists, lawyers, and scientists to build a technological process that delivers the International ISO-30415 Standard to for Diversity Equity Inclusion & Belonging to America's STEM Professional Societies.
Funding for the REVIIS Partnership has come from the National Science Foundation (#2305550). Any opinions, findings, conclusions, and/or recommendations expressed in this material are those of the authors and do not necessarily reflect the views of the National Science Foundation.

What is a Standard ???
“Standards define what great looks like, setting consistent benchmarks for businesses and consumers alike — ensuring reliability, building trust, and simplifying choices.
Making lives easier, safer and better.”
International Organization for Standardization (ISO) website (retrieved 7/15/24)

Why are Standards Important ???
- Construct an efficient and effective means of “making things safer and better in the world around us” (ISO 2030:Vision & Mission, n.d., p. 10)
- Create a common global language and process
- Provide significant benefit to companies/organizations (e.g., higher growth rates, employment, & earnings) (e.g., Neyestani & Juanzon, 2017)
- Ensure rigor by providing benchmarks for excellence
- Ground action in evidence-based (i.e., “best”) practices
- Foster collective continuous improvement
- Compel compliance to ensure competitive edge in a global market
What is ISO:30415 ???
The ISO:30415 Diversity & Inclusion Standard:
- Informs and systematizes disciplinary excellence [i.e., fosters disciplinary excellence through: a) engagement of all trained people, b) increased capacity for problem-solving and innovation; and c) resilience in the face of stress and challenge]
- Promotes a systematic approach to diversity and inclusion, as opposed to the more common ad hoc approach
- Provides foundation for accreditation and discipline certification
Fosters accountability for continual improvement
How is the ISO:30415 Similar to and Different from Other DEI Assessment?
Similar to Other Assessments:
- Series of statements evaluated by a “Likert Scale” or “Maturity Scale”
- Fosters benchmarking of activities
Different from Other Assessments:
- Ratified across 160+ countries
- Improved by ISO standard iterations
- Based on an actionable set of evidence-based practices
- Incorporates “Measurement” of actions
- The “Maturity Score” is determined based on “proof” (i.e., evidence of activity)
- Onboards and guides “Next Steps” in a scaffolded, “bite-sized” fashion
- Supports professional society continuous improvement
- Provides centralized access to professional society data for reference
- Identifies potential revenue-generating professional development opportunities to sustain the work
We have created a crosswalk
A parallel between the ISO-30415 Standard and other standards assessments to translate any organizational or industry function into the delivery of DEI-as-a-service.
This is the normal practice in professionalizing and standardizing other industrial practices. The REVIIS project is establishing DEI&B as a standardized profession with actions & measurable designed for delivering maturity in organizational delivery.
We will Prepare your org and train your members in the Standard
We have turned the standard method of continual process improvement into a guided software to manage the workflow of incrementally evolving your organization.
