The instruments listed in the action plan will be implemented by the project group or delegated to experts. The toolkit describes numerous tools regarding their approach and effect, timeframe, effort, and costs. In addition, the toolkit provides further links and additional materials in the form of instructions or “best practices” from actual case studies that can help with implementation. All the instruments included in the toolkit address diversity and inclusion in innovation. They aim to engage a wide range of individuals in the process of change. If your company has little experience in organizational development, you can consult professional partners for support during implementation.
