Hear from ESPN and IBIS as they will share the story of designing and implementing the “ESPN D&I Playbook”, an innovative e-learning experience that fully resonates with the culture and business opportunities at ESPN. This session will cover how ESPN generates understanding, engagement enthusiasm for D&I as well as how they leverage diversity in the age of constant visibility. The presenters will also share D&I strategies that target three dimensions: workforce, workplace and marketplace. You will leave this session being able to:
- Understand the need to have D&I strategies that fully align with a broad range of business opportunities.
- Identify how to tailor your D&I message and strategy based on individual and organizational readiness.
- Engage key stakeholders, including top leadership, to share and own the D&I message.
- Develop the best approach to D&I, to fuel organizational change and the evolution of an organization's culture (e.g., ESPN is part of an industry that is under constant visibility and has continual social media presence).
