Different Women, Different Places

In 2007, we recognised that the voice of ethnically diverse women was not being heard, their contribution and distinctive value not recognised, their unique leadership style broadly unknown. And so, Different Women, Different Places 1 was born

Building on the primary data gathered in 2007 to see how Different Women’s story has evolved or changed Different Women, Different Places 2 asked the questions:

  • Where are we now? What has fundamentally changed for Different Women in the workplace? What’s the same?
  • What can we learn by examining the leadership approaches of Different Women?
  • What is the relationship between Different Women and their white female counterparts? Is the Gender Agenda inclusive?
  • How do Millennial women’s experiences differ, if at all?
  • Will our findings be impacted by including women from the United States, the UAE and other parts of the world?
  • Do organisations really understand, appreciate and value the distinct leadership contribution Different Women make?

In 2019, DWDP 2 revisited the original research through a global comparative study of the working lives and experiences of Different Women leading and working in the UK, the U.S and the Middle East. In collaboration with the League of Black Women, Bloomberg, Northern Trust, and The Tavistock Institute, DWDP 2 explored the current narrative of Different Women to determine what has changed since 2007 and what their lived experience is, understand the value they bring to their organisations, examine their relationships with white women, reveal the experiences of young, millennial, Different Women and so much more.
