SUMMARY:Diversity: Good or Bad for Your Organization?
DESCRIPTION:Diversity seems to be all the rage these days. Organizations today are faced with ever-evolving\, ever more demanding\, and diverse customers.  How can your organization keep up with and even gain a competitive advantage over your competition for those customers?

What are the benefits? How can you tell if your organization could benefit from diversity efforts? Come participate in an interactive session where you will discover the answers to this and other questions about whether diversity\, equity\, & inclusion is worth pursuing in your organization. \nLearning Objectives\nBy the end of this session participants will be able to: \n\ndescribe the sociological definition of diversity\ndescribe to non-believers why inclusion is also important\nlink your DEI initiative to organizational performance\nidentify areas where diversity & inclusion could help your organization\n\nFacilitator: James McKim\, PMP\, ITIL\,  Managing Partner\, Organizational Ignition \n  \nRegister Now!
