• Seize agency by taking control of decisions that align with their values and mission.

A manual to support and provide essential guidance to the profession on these key issues. Acknowledging that the existence of EDI procedures does not necessarily ensure their use, it focuses on demonstrating behaviours that help create, implement and enforce policies, procedures and practices to deliver inclusion. Written by Marsha Ramroop, former inaugural EDI Director at the RIBA and award-winning EDI strategist, the book targets the pain points of talent attraction and retention, public sector procurement, community engagement and inclusive design. It utilises case studies from organisations across the sector and the world with successful EDI practices, as well as testimonials of lived experiences of discrimination which provide important insight to the reader. The book takes an intersectional approach, considering not just the separate identities of race, ethnicity, nationality, age, gender and sexual identity, disability, neurodiversity and class but the overlap of these.

Taught at NYU to influence a new generations of ethical business leaders, this book is influencing the next generation of executives to rethink corporate decision-making. Offering forward-thinking wisdom on how to evolve past destructive modern practices in business, the book is an original and thought-provoking model for the synthesis of corporate growth and true sustainability. Digging into the dark and abstract costs of contemporary labor and late-stage capitalism, this book is both a nuanced critique and a scathing revelation, linking disparate concepts in politics, philosophy, psychology, history, and corporate tradition to make a resounding point about the loss of professional ethics that drive the current economic system, while providing actionable ways forward that veer away from wishful thinking, given Cooper's authority on the topic. With the overall intention of eschewing the profit-now approach, Cooper articulates a convincing argument to radically reframe business.
