Organizations with above-average diversity in their management teams – with the right enabling factors in place – perform better and report significantly greater return. (2018 BCG)
While 71% of organizations aspire to have an inclusive culture, only 12% meet that goal. (2017 Deloitte)
Executive leadership paths for BIPOC, women and all marginalized talent must be rooted in critical strategy and systems, that are backed by diverse champions and sponsors, significant resources, accountable metrics, and seats at the table.
Workplaces will no longer be a site of “containment” but a place where people meet, learn and share. Leaders will need to have the capacity to lead a diverse, global and virtual workforce and have the flexibility to work across the blurred boundaries between competitors, partners, customers, consumers and the general public. (Deloitte-Future of Work)
