The Innovation Hub was approached by a group that was interested in experimenting with a new approach to taking into consideration EDI aspects in its decision-making. The Innovation Hub reviewed the new approach as well as existing approaches and proposed an evaluation method to assess what approach might be best to use in different scenarios based on three criteria: (1) ability to reach the target; (2) administrative effort required; and (3) stakeholder perception.
