Re: the 4th area, Diversity & Inclusion, if you need a native Spanish speaker I might be able to help a bit Re: what Bertrand comments below, I share his approach. I'll paraphrase it as I like to imagine it: * you have your dream/design about how you would like things to be in the future * you analyse how the things are currently * you give small, reversible steps that leave things closer to your dream * you check if the effect of the output makes me reconsider aspects of the target and/or the analysis changes in time * ... It is a long term process, and ideally quality increases monotonically in time, so you can stop or pause whenever you want or needs to, always with positive results.
