Just One Q

Can we “integrate” inclusion work without making it invisible? As we mark the 100th anniversary of Black History Month this February, organizations face a pivotal moment in the evolution of inclusion work. While many companies are moving toward "integrating" inclusion principles into their broader processes and talent lifecycles, there is a risk that these efforts will fade into the background without deliberate, sustained focus. Dean Delpeache introduces the "3 I's" framework (Intentionality, Integration, and Invisibility) to highlight key tensions and to help leaders assess their strategy. By coupling integration with explicit accountability and modeled inclusive behaviours, organizations can ensure that their commitment to equity remains visible and effective, even as the public conversation quiets. On this episode of Just One Q, Dominique chats with guest Dean Delpeache, a talent management expert and the Director of Strasity. They discuss the historical context of the Black History Month centennial, the state of inclusion work in 2026, and offer practical strategies for leaders to keep anti-racism work front and center.
