HIGHMARK,
INC.
Planning for Inclusion
RDP Consulting Services worked with Highmark over a two year
period. In 2000, Highmark undertook a diversity study to understand
how well it was doing in the area of diversity management.
As a result of the research (conducted by RDP), we worked
with Highmark to design, develop and implement a multi-faceted
initiative to assess strengths in the work environment and
find ways to leverage those strengths as the organization
continues to grow. Planning for Inclusion involved not only
training managers in how to be more effective with a more
diverse workforce, but also instructed them on workplace discrimination
law so they could be sure they were complying in their day
to day management practices; in addition, a comprehensive
thinking program was implemented with more than 300 middle
managers, in which they came together in intensive sessions
to develop strategies for building a more inclusive and collaborative
work environment. See

Leadership
Development
In an intensive, one-year program, we work with a select group
of potential leaders from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers,
to prepare them to step into leadership and lead effectively.
Through hands-on, exploratory activity; readings; field visits;
and lectures by known leaders national and regional, students
in the Leadership Development Institute understand what leadership
is, and their own leadership strengths, work together as a
team to undertake a project for enhancing their organization,
and take part in experiences designed for cross-fertilization
of ideas as they see how other successful organizations develop
leaders and practice effective leadership.

they worked together on a group project designed to move their

they took initiative to address challenges in their own departments.

the organization's strategic plan in 1999. In 2001, we worked
with the organization again to conduct an intensive assessment
of the organization's work environment, structure, leadership
potential and succession planning, and make recommendations
for a strategic approach to preparing the organization for
future leadership transitions.
