Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion (DEI) initiatives are all about change. Organizations in the United States spend $8 billion on diversity and inclusion training each year. Yet DEI initiatives are failing or being abandoned.  And yet, the results simply aren’t there: 45% of US workers report experiencing discrimination in the past year and 75% of employees in underrepresented groups do not feel they have personally benefited from their company’s DEI programs.

At ANC ’24, James McKim will lead a discussion on strategies you can deploy to develop and execute a DEI effort that is not just a social justice initiative but an organizational performance imperative. We’ll discuss why DEI efforts fail and the key questions every DEI initiative should answer. You will leave this session with a high-level DEI roadmap that will ignite your organization’s performance.
