Doing the Work: Operationalizing DEI for Success

Global Diversity & Inclusion and Partners in Diversity invite you to join us for Doing the Work: Operationalizing DEI for Success, part of the Breakfast for Champions series.

We all desire more inclusive organizations where diversity can thrive and equity is the standard. But when the rubber meets the road, it can sometimes be hard to move beyond disjointed tactics and create a successful, long-term strategic approach. In this session, award-winning DEI leader Elizabeth N Laine will share her four-pillar model of DEI operationalization, developed over ten years of DEI consulting. Diving into key processes and practices across organizational functions, this session will share key ways of evaluating and optimizing DEI strategy with an eye toward Metrics, Process, Education and Programs in the organization to create a foundational strategy for sustainable success.
