Sessions

Workplace Application: Take part in a thought-provoking session that evaluates the strategic choice facing diversity leaders: whether to target individual diversity issues as they surface, or to foster development of a universal capability that would empower organizations and individuals to generate solutions for any diversity issue.

This session is recommended for senior and executive D&I practitioners. Learn the strategic concepts and the differences of “giving a fish” (offering sequential attention to the diversity issue of the moment) and “empowering to fish” (fostering development of a universal capability that can be used with the issues of the moment, those of the past and those of the future). Explore the pros and cons of each strategic option, review an example of a universal model and examine the requirements for implementing a universal approach.
