CASE STUDY CO-CREATING AN INCLUSION AND DIVERSITY (I&D) STRATEGY WITH DOMINO'S Challenge Domino’s is a Fortune 1000, multinational pizza chain with more than 17,000 locations. Our client has experienced significant cultural change in recent years, and has since focused heavily on creating an inclusive culture, as well as expanding the diversity of their workforce. For Domino’s, a crystalized I&D strategy would underpin their broader leadership strategy to improve talent, remain competitive, reach a wider customer-base, and better tackle an ever-changing market. With many franchised stores around the globe, I&D has become a particularly challenging practice to standardize. Change had to come from the top. Our client wanted to plan, implement, and execute an I&D strategy across their corporate workforce, to raise the inclusivity of their culture and ultimately to the entirety of their franchisee businesses. Specifically, they needed to approach I&D as a key aspect of their leadership strategy. Solution To understand the current and desired future state of I&D, YSC held 1:1 conversations with their executive leadership team (LT) and other senior leaders, focus groups, and store visits with employees across levels, regions, business units, and functions. We conducted research on the organization’s strategy and representation data, as well as internal employee survey data. I&D insights and Conscious Inclusion content was shared with the LT and other key stakeholders. We then facilitated a strategy design where the group identified their I&D priorities required to achieve their stated business goals. YSC held two workshops in early 2020 to help leaders co-create their I&D strategy. The first included the LT and other strategic leaders in the initiative. The second branched out to include the extended leadership team in an effort to cascade and embed this work throughout the organization. YSC helped develop a comprehensive I&D strategy, including goals, actions, and ways to measure success. We also outlined the leadership shifts required to accelerate impact and success. Impact Domino’s now has a comprehensive I&D strategy, owned and sponsored by the LT, which they see as an integral part of their broader leadership strategy moving into the new decade. Our client is now implementing their I&D strategic plan, with goals set for talent, culture, market, and leadership pillars. YSC continues to work with Domino’s to finalize their I&D Leadership Committee and identify LT sponsors. YSC is designing a Conscious Inclusion Training-of-Trainers program which would span a 2-3 month journey, enabling select Domino’s leaders to deliver Conscious Inclusion content internally. This training would enable Domino’s to deliver Conscious Inclusion content at scale, to roughly 600 people within the first year.
