Leading and operating an organization equitably takes practice. As your practice partner, KSO Consulting supports leaders in implementing a racial equity framework and conducting racial equity analyses through consultation and technical assistance.
We conduct a deep, data-driven analysis of the client's internal systems across the entire employee lifecycle (hire-to-retire) and critical business functions. This is not simply a climate survey; it's a rigorous examination of power distribution, resource allocation, and policy impact on marginalized racial groups.
The output is a clear, prioritized, and measurable Racial Equity Strategic Roadmap.

KSO Consulting partners with clients in a thought-provoking and creative process where they are empowered to maximize their personal and professional potential. Through curiosity, observation, and seeking clarity, coach KSO Consulting unlocks previously untapped sources of leadership, imagination, and success as defined by our clients.
The coaching moves beyond theory to focus on applied Leadership Coaching in real-time scenarios, such as budget allocation, crisis management, difficult stakeholder engagement, and strategic visioning, all centered on racial equity.

KSO Consulting is currently scheduling opportunities for informing, motivating, and inspiring audiences to advance racial equity as leaders, allies, and accomplices.
We specialize in the development and delivery of standardized, impactful training programs tailored to different employee levels (e.g., all staff, people managers, engineering teams).
The goal is to establish a common language and baseline competence, moving beyond awareness to behavioral change and skill-building in confronting bias and challenging inequitable norms.

Realizing and honing the skills and competencies required to embed equity takes practice. Through our engaging group sessions offered online or in person, we train leaders and staff to embed racial equity in their work by providing practical tools and transformative insights.

"I hired Kimberlee Archie to help my staff and leadership team be more cohesive, clear, and creative in how we navigated issues of race, equity, and healing in our community. We integrated all this, and so much more. The I⁵ Disrupt the Status Quo Racial Equity Journey took a very disparate group of people and gave us the language, trust, and tools to have challenging and expansive conversations, explore the impact of policy and procedures, and clear up past hurt in our organization."
