O.K.R.A. Racial Equity Harm Assessment Compass

Consulting

The Problem

Across cities, counties, and government agencies, inequities in opportunity, access, representation, and knowledge often go unseen—yet they create real harm for employees, residents, and communities. Left unaddressed, these inequities increase compliance risk, erode public trust, and weaken organizational performance.

Don’t leave equity to chance. Get your City, County, or Agency audited with the O.K.R.A. Compass and move from risk to resilience.

CDG provides organizational development consulting services by examining Opportunity, Knowledge, Representation, and Access. We uncover blind spots that perpetuate racial harm—and provide actionable strategies for compliance, accountability, and equitable service delivery.
