Management has decided they want to pursue diversity for the good of the organization. You have been tasked with leading or playing a major role in carrying out this decision. But how do you do this?

Whether you are HR, R&D/Engineering/Development/PMO/IT Management, or Business Unit Leadership, this interactive session will help you set yourself up for a successful D&I push. Based on our work integrating GQD’s “State of Diversity & Inclusion”, Atd best practices around D&I, McKinsey & Company’s 2018 “Delivering through Diversity”, and Cornell University’s “What Diversity Metrics are Best Used to Track and Improve Employee Diversity” you will lean into what we call the 5 magic DEI Implementation Guideposts:

• Setting the right tone for a D&I initiative
• Identifying problem areas & opportunities
• Assessing the gap in understanding or leveraging diversity
• Identifying diversity goals that support organizational goals
• Implementing Change Initiative(s) to benefit from DEI

Learning Objectives

By the end of this session participants will be able to:

• Link your DEI initiative to organizational performance
• Create a roadmap for your DEI initiative
• Set the proper expectations for a DEI initiative
