At ACI, we have adopted this approach towards inclusion:

ACI Builds, not by counting people but by making people count.

This statement is our declaration of the fact that we understand the difference between diversity and inclusion. We believe that diversity is the mix while inclusion is what makes the mix work. We aspire to have an inclusive culture – one where not only are there people of different backgrounds and experiences gathered, but also one where each person is made to feel welcomed, and their thoughts and feelings valued.

In certain respects, every person behaves like all others: in other respects, like some others… and in some cases, like no others.

We use these three filtering ideas to identify and treasure similarities (all), clarify what’s cultural (some), & turn loose the contribution of uniqueness (no). What better way to build than to leverage the power that is inherent in our differences? By doing so, we offer our clients the best of who we are collectively and create the opportunity to set ourselves apart from our competitors.
