Information on

the diversity practice

StellarHE is designed and delivered by The Diversity Practice, an organisational and leadership development consultancy with a wealth of experience of working in and with Higher Education Institutions to consistently shape and influence their thinking, understanding and application of the critical link between strategy, leadership, diversity & inclusion, organisational culture and performance.

Across Higher Education, the NHS and other sectors we’ve built a strong reputation for high impact learning interventions that constructively challenge the traditional approach to diversity; and engage leaders from across the whole diversity spectrum in critical, candid conversations that result in sustainable change in their leadership and career advancement, and the development of high performing inclusive organisations.
