With all these challenges, there is a way forward. CAPE is an easy to use foundational tool based on a straightforward process (Figure 1.4).

Let's look a little further into each step in the CAPE process:

1 Collecting data is critical to having a successful program. Knowing what data to collect, and when, is critical to knowing if you are going in the right direction. At the end of the day, every chief diversity officer has to show numbers.

2 Analyzing the data is equally important. Once you collect the right data, you will need to analyze it in a meaningful way across the organization in order to make an actionable plan with obtainable and reasonable goals.

3 Plan. Having a plan based on the measurable DE&I data that outlines the challenges and opportunities of your organization will help you effectively manage your time and resources.

4 Execute. After you build a plan on data, it is time to execute on your plan.Figure 1.3 Reasons DE&I Leaders Fail.Figure 1.4 The CAPE Process Overview. Source: Reproduced with permission of CAPE Inclusion Inc.

5 Because you started with collecting data, you will be able to assess your progress, adjust if necessary, and measure your success – ROI.

The CAPE process gives you and your company a previously unseen way forward. Chapters 2 through 6 will further explain each step in the CAPE process.
