The Problem
• Our current organizations do not reflect the make-up of our global society.
• The organizations will not be reflective of the diversity of the county and our customer base within the next 5 – 10 years
Present State Future State
Why this Problem is Important
Diversity leads to differences in thought and promotes innovation. As we move to a more global economy, it will be vital for our companies to be diverse and reflective of society in order to survive.
This is Our Problem to Solve
If we ignore the problem and are not part of the solution, then we are supporting the status quo.
Present State Future State
Our Stakeholders
Board of Directors; Executive Board; Customers; Current and Future Employees and Retirees; Diversity Council; Affinity Groups; Communities in which we operate and conduct business
How will we measure success
A plan is in place to attract diverse talent and have it adopted
Individual Constraints
Selective perception and stereotyping have the potential to prevent our organizations from maximizing our overall global effectiveness if we are not able to embrace the need for training and developing in this category.
Group Constraints
• In order to overcome the cultural constraints, we created opportunities for education and development at all levels within the organization.
• In addition, we also developed and nurtured an environment that celebrates innovative problem-solving methods.
Organizational
There was a need for us to build our process strategy that supported the value of dedicating resources (time, money, people) as a matter of human capital investment. We also showcased to our organizations the innovative values that a diverse work force provides as a competitive global advantage over our competitors within our industries.
Industry
We focused on redefining our corporate goals and strategic approach to establishing ourselves as an innovative global leader for developing and implementing inclusive diversity and training practices throughout the entire organization.
Society
• We pushed back against the tradition of training only being offered to certain levels within the organization and ensured that everyone in the organization will develop and understand the importance of diversity.
• We also created an infrastructure that supports ongoing growth in this area of development.
Technology
We will monitor the gaps in training and development that we created versus the need for new tools and functionality that will need to be created. By monitoring this process we will be able to manage the momentum and the adoption rate for diversity training and development.
