This session will provide an overview of groundbreaking thought leadership, featuring new data on the true value of inclusion and insights on how D&I professionals can leverage these next practices and strategies to begin driving value now.
For the past three years, Cisco has engaged C-Suite executives in over 75 key customer accounts in a thought leadership dialogue, exploring a theory on the role that inclusion plays in driving collaboration and innovation. In the process one thing has become abundantly clear: when the conversation around inclusion is based on driving business value instead of primarily demonstrating virtue, it is game changing. In this interactive session we will explore:
- How forward-leaning D&I professionals can bring new thinking to drive collaboration and innovation across the entire organization;
- New methods of assessing the level of inclusiveness and next generation collaboration skills within the environment; and
- New insights and best practices on overcoming organizational gaps and blind spots in order to drive exponential business value.
