Chief Diversity Officer Board September 2016 In-Person Meeting


A terrific meeting full of powerful takeaways to enhance – and perhaps even disrupt - your current D&I practices. A very special thank you to Walter Hurdle for hosting. 

Highlights included discussion and practical strategies on how to: 

–       Embed D&I into your culture with a radical rewiring of D&I tools and practices driven with data, diagnosis and imagination  (with thought leader and author Chris Yates, CLO of Caterpillar),

–       Take a stand on social and political events that impact your employee base – and how to position internal and community messaging around the impact on your employees and how that aligns with your corporate values,

–       Set global D&I targets for your CEO and Board – and specific starting points to collect benchmarks and to target improvement metrics,

–       Successfully market and manage programs that target specific employee segments while promoting inclusion (in this case how women manage work-life balance),

–       Use and socialize D&I data for impact – and how to manage “naysayers” undermining your progress and work through cross functional project teams to ensure buy-in,

–       Identify your own strengths and developmental needs as a D&I professional (with a new research based i4cp tool).
