INSEAD's Advancing Diversity and Inclusion Microcredential
INSEAD has launched a new microcredential titled “Advancing Diversity and Inclusion,” aimed at leaders who want to translate diversity rhetoric into measurable results. The three‑professor team—Kaisa Snellman, Jennifer Petriglieri and Felicia Henderson—bases the curriculum on peer‑reviewed research. It identifies systemic barriers such as unconscious bias, exclusionary norms and structural obstacles that persist even in firms that publicly champion diversity. Participants learn to redesign recruitment and performance‑evaluation processes, set concrete KPIs, and build mentorship, sponsorship and allyship programs. A LiveCase simulation immerses learners in realistic scenarios, allowing them to practice creating psychological safety and bias‑free decision‑making. By moving beyond checkbox compliance, the credential promises to unlock the financial and innovation upside of a truly inclusive workforce, giving companies a roadmap to track and sustain progress.
