Abstract
Diverse and Inclusive (D&I) Design is a concept that is gaining momentum. In the current climate, now more than ever, many companies are looking to incorporate diversity and inclusion as part of their business plan. It's important to consider diversity and inclusion early in the design phase of a project and consider the various aspects of the project's diverse workforce—age, race, gender, ability, economic status, and culture. When you review these factors early in the planning phase, you can save business time and costs, create a safer environment, and possibly avoid retrofitting equipment or facilities later.
Organizations can produce innovative solutions with diverse project teams. The following will be covered as part of this presentation:
