We DID NOT BUILD A DEI CONFERENCE- WE BUILT AN ECOSYSTEM

Mastering Diversity | Reporting Period: FY 2025/26

Framework: National TOM System™ (Themes, Outcomes, and Measures)

1. Introduction

The "Mastering Diversity" ecosystem has successfully transitioned from a networking concept into a high-value social asset. By quantifying our reach through the TOMs framework, we demonstrate that diversity is a measurable economic driver.

We have developed an ecosystem that is both organic, reactive and drives forward one approach that is inclusive in every thought and action.

The approach that we developed is that we always have an open door and every view is considered.

Our journey call ` We go Together or not at All `

Our impact is multifaceted in Wales, UK and International, so driving through local communities but also influencing National Governments and the United Nations.

Our drive is relentless to mobilise the ecosystem, to drive impact through real action and provide a safe environment to challenge.
