Diversity of Thought: Where D&I Meets the Bottom Line

SHRM 2016 Annual Conference & Exposition
Learn how to incorporate thinking diversity into your D&I initiatives to increase buy-in and tie them more directly to business outcomes.

Discover how expanding the definition to include thinking diversity can help you link your efforts to specific business initiatives and challenges so you can gain organization-wide buy-in and increase your own business credibility in the process. You'll learn an easy-to-apply model for tapping into your own thinking diversity to address all critical aspects of a successful D&I initiative, one that will encourage innovative thinking and deliver the business benefits of a thinking inclusive workplace. This session will help you:

  • Apply a set of research-backed tools and models to put thinking preferences at the center of your D&I efforts.
  • Identify the impact of diverse thinking preferences on behaviors and business outcomes.
  • Maximize the impact of inclusion by measuring the value.
