A Time Honored History
Diversity Management was originated and developed by the late Dr. R. Roosevelt Thomas, Jr., “The Father of Diversity Management.” Dr. Thomas defined diversity as “any collective mixture characterized by differences, similarities, and their related tensions and complexities.”
He believed managing diversity should not only be strategic, but approached like a craft, whose components include key concepts, principles, skills, practice and mastery.
Those who practice the craft of Diversity Management are able to make quality decisions in the midst of unpredictable dynamics.
Dr. Thomas also saw Diversity Management as a business practice; not a special program only to be used in crisis or as an item to check off a to-do list.
Today, Diversity Management is literally in the DNA of SDMS 360. Dr. Thomas’ vision continues to thrive under the direction of April Thomas, Dr. Thomas’ daughter and our Founder/CEO.
SDMS 360 propels the strategic intent of Dr. Thomas’ framework forward, using creative means to maintain its enduring appeal and demonstrate its universal relevance throughout the world.
Dr. Thomas’ classic and pioneering framework, the Strategic Diversity Management Process™ (SDMP), continues to impact thousands through skills-based training, professional consulting, eLearning, and measurement tools.
