Level Up Your Organization’s DEI Outcomes

Hi, I’m Ivan Lee

I’m a leader and consultant with 15+ years of proven success at Fortune 100 companies (Apple and T-Mobile) and high-growth organizations (Elastic and City Year AmeriCorps) in leading global change initiatives, facilitating onboarding and leadership training, and program management.

I have a unique combination of expertise in Diversity, Equity & Inclusion, Social Impact, Leadership & Talent Development, and Business Partnering / Executive Consulting.

What is the Level Up Framework?

The Level Up Framework consists of four parts:

Part 1: OBSERVE
Observe and Identify Root Problem and Causes

Part 2: CONNECT
Connect Solutions to Team’s Motivation

Part 3: IMPLEMENT
Implement Solutions through Infrastructure Change

Part 4: IMPROVE
Measure Results and Make Adjustments

Case Studies

Case Study: DEI Strategic Planning

Hired as the inaugural Senior DEI Leader at a tech company, the challenge was to create a DEI strategic plan that aligned with the company’s vision, get buy-in from senior leadership, and implement the plan to get tangible results.

Case Study: DEI Training at Fortune 100 Company

Applying the Level Up framework led to an increase of cultural training completion, a reduction of completion time, and a near-perfect rating on the new training curriculum.

Case Study: Speaking Up at Fortune 100 Company

After identifying barriers, we successfully advocated for a change from a “Speak Up” policy to a “Stand Up” policy; shifting company culture from merely enforcing regulated behaviors to encouraging and building a positive culture of respect.

Case Study: DEI Mentoring Program

When a Fortune 100 Company was having difficulty retaining underrepresented talent, we launched a mentoring program to provide employees with opportunities to learn critical business skills and create new partnerships.

Is there a way I can help you and your organization?
