At a time of great uncertainty around DEI and very different positions being taken by politicians around the world, we are pleased to offer members the opportunity to attend this Global C-suite webinar, a unique chance to hear from top leaders in our industry in the US, UK and Europe.
They will discuss how organisations across different regions are addressing the challenges and repositioning DEI as a strategic intent, to ensure that we create the best performing teams and that all talent has a fair shot, while remaining in compliance with local regulations and laws.
It will also be an opportunity to provide you with an update on our Cognitive Diversity research project, led by Professor Alex Edmans at London Business School, which we hope to be part of the revised business case for DEI done well.
