Diversity\, Equity & Inclusion (DEI) has risen as a top priority in the workplace\, and people have sprung to action – from the most senior business leaders setting DEI targets\, making public & private commitments to change\, and appointing dedicated Chief DEI Officers\, down to the working level through the mobilization & advocacy of employee resource groups\, and the accelerated implementation of different approaches to improve DEI outcomes.\n\n  \nIn this collective journey to make impactful organizational change\, a critical question that emerges for change leaders is\, how do you measure your organization’s DEI progress? What metrics should be used to evaluate your organizational performance? And as you drive systemic change\, what is the best roadmap forward? How do you implement incremental changes to make a radical\, sustained transformation? \n  \nJoin this interactive workshop led by experts at YSC Consulting\, who will guide business leaders to address the key questions in their DEI efforts in order to avoid pitfalls and increase the chances of achieving meaningful\, sustained impact at their organizations. \n  \nThis panel & workshop will include insights on conscious inclusion\, and how to implement a data-driven inclusive leadership model. Participants will also have the opportunity to complete an inclusive leadership self-assessment as a follow-up. \n\n\n\n\n\nSpeakers:\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPatrice Gordon\nDirector of Commercial Strategy Development\, Virgin Atlantic \nTo learn more about Patrice click here \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDev Ramnarine \nExecutive Vice President\, National Association of Black Accountants \nTo learn more about Dev click here \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nModerator:\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nGregory Fernandes\nDirector\, Head of DEI (Americas)\, YSC Consulting \nTo learn more about Gregory click here \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLearn more about “The Stir\,” BAB’s diversity\, equity and inclusion series here. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSeries Sponsors:
