Posted by Scott Ferry | Nov 18, 2021 | By Whose Standards, Features, Recent Posts | 0

Over the last four months, we’ve been asking the question, “By whose standards?” to begin unpacking the fraught relationship between organizational inertia — how things have always been done — and equity-centered momentum — how we imagine things could be.
