OPIM

What OPIM does

OPIM z.s. is a Czech nonprofit organization (registered association) founded in 2001 by Jana Tikalová and headquartered in Prague, Czech Republic. It delivers Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) education, consulting, and community-building services primarily to enterprise and public-sector clients across the Czech Republic and Central Eastern Europe. The company operates four primary sub-brands: the D&I Shapers network (30+ member organizations running 1-2 events per month), the DEI Academy (a multi-tier certification program), the Living Library (a Council of Europe-licensed storytelling methodology), and the DEI Forum (an annual international conference positioned as the largest DEI event in CEE). The named client roster spans 60+ organizations including SAP, Deloitte, IKEA, ING, Škoda Auto, Google, Citi, Česká spořitelna, and AbbVie.

OPIM's service portfolio is organized around three pillars. Education comprises interactive workshops on unconscious bias, inclusive leadership, neurodiversity, intergenerational dialogue, and LGBTQ+ awareness; the tiered DEI Academy (28,000 CZK for the full program down to 2,000 CZK per module); e-learnings including the "Sightseeing Tour" interactive experience; and leadership programs including specialized tracks for women. Consulting covers DEI strategy development, internal communication campaigns, inclusion surveys, ERG design, HR-cycle analysis, and mentoring/coaching. Community is delivered through the D&I Shapers peer network and the annual DEI Forum. A signature 2024 addition is the Employer Human Rights Ten Commandments framework, co-developed with the Government Office of the Czech Republic. The underlying "technology" is facilitation- and methodology-driven — design thinking, LEGO Serious Play, World Café, role plays, simulations, and storytelling — supplemented by a database of 30+ "Living Books" accumulated over 18 years; no AI/ML capabilities are disclosed.

OPIM monetizes through five revenue streams: Academy subscriptions and individual module sales, custom consulting engagements, workshop-based education, event registrations (round tables at 490 CZK + VAT, Forum tickets 1,500-3,500 CZK), and network membership dues. Customer acquisition is sales-led (website inquiry forms, personalized outreach) reinforced by community-led growth (D&I Shapers) and event-driven demand generation (DEI Forum). Pricing is uniformly in Czech Koruna, with D&I Shapers members receiving discounted or free access to events. The company has 12 employees and runs active programs through 2026.

Scale indicators8 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights6 records

Emerging players

• Diversio: AI-powered DEI platform for inclusion measurement and benchmarking. Adjacent to OPIM's inclusion survey and competence assessment products, though technology-enabled and global in scope.
• Kanarys: DEI data and analytics platform helping enterprises measure and improve inclusion. Comparable to OPIM's inclusion survey work but operates as a tech platform rather than a training/consulting firm.

Broad incumbents

• Catalyst: Global nonprofit providing DEI research, consulting, and corporate advisory services. Comparable to OPIM as a mission-driven DEI consultancy serving enterprise clients, though at much larger scale and US-centric.
• Diversity & Inclusion Consulting (general category): N/A — placeholder removed; see specific peers below.
• FranklinCovey (DEI practice): Global leadership and DEI training provider with enterprise courses on inclusion and unconscious bias. Overlaps with OPIM's DEI Academy and leadership programs but operates at much larger scale and globally.

Direct peers

• Living Institute Denmark: OPIM's stated strategic partner and Danish DEI flagship organization. Living Institute specializes in Living Library methodology and DEI training — directly overlapping with OPIM's core offerings, making it the closest peer.
• The Winters Group: DEI consulting firm specializing in organizational assessments, training, and strategy. Comparable in service mix (consulting + training + assessments) to OPIM's holistic proposition.
• Paradigm Strategy: DEI strategy and consulting firm serving enterprise clients on inclusion strategy, bias training, and culture change. Directly comparable to OPIM's consulting and training offering though focused on US/UK markets.

Regional players

• European Diversity Research Institute: European-focused DEI research, consulting, and training organizations operating in adjacent CEE/Western Europe markets. Comparable geography and content focus to OPIM, though specific named European DEI research firms were not confidently identified.

Others

• Pride Business Forum: First NGO member of OPIM's D&I Shapers network. While not a direct competitor, it serves as a peer/partner addressing LGBTQ+ workplace inclusion in Czech Republic — adjacent to OPIM's DEI content.
