Abstract
Who are the diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) consultants shaping the landscape in Denmark? What motivates them to enter the DEI consulting market? What types of initiatives do they undertake? How do they navigate the challenges of selling DEI services to organizations, especially when met with resistance or criticism? How do these professionals connect and network in this burgeoning industry?
These questions guided our research project as we investigated the world of DEI consulting in Denmark. Today, DEI is a major consideration for organizations, employers, and society at large. It covers a wide range of initiatives that aim to foster more diverse and inclusive environments in which equality, equity, and belonging are not just goals but essential values.1 DEI work is carried out by professionals tasked with designing, implementing, and overseeing diversity initiatives within organizations. These efforts are crucial in shaping workplaces where everyone can thrive. They also involve navigating complex challenges and varying levels of organizational commitment.
