Achieving World Class Diversity Management

Diversity management is a critical competitive difference maker.

In the 1980s and ‘90s, organizations achieved financial and competitive success by focusing on the discipline of world class manufacturing. Now, with globalization and demographic shifts changing the nature of relationships, markets and decision-making processes, leading organizations will gain their advantage by developing World Class Diversity Management.

Dr. Roosevelt Thomas, Jr., is the foremost thought leader in the field of diversity. As an author, speaker, and executive coach he has steered organizations and leaders to a more useful and rational understanding of strategic diversity management. His latest landmark work examines diversity management from a universal perspective and provides executives, organizations, and even communities with the capability to make quality decisions in the midst of any diversity mixture, in any diversity setting, and in any geographical location.

In this vigorous discussion, moderated by Dr. Shirley Davis, the Director of Diversity and Inclusion Initiatives at the Society for Human Resource Management, Dr. Roosevelt Thomas will describe aspects and strategies that will establish the new standard in best practice. In particular, he will define:

1. The 5 key diversity elements that must be in place
2. The 4 frameworks for capturing and rationalizing all approaches to diversity management
3. The 3 questions that must be answered for any diversity mixture
4. The 3 core diversity management strategies that are essential for the pursuit of World Class Diversity Management

Organizations and managers face a growing need to coordinate diversity efforts across national boundaries. There is also an increasing recognition that race and gender in the workforce are not the only two diversity dimensions that must be addressed. As leaders seek to pay attention to non-traditional dimensions, however, they encounter resistance due to the fear that “traditional issues” will be neglected. The development of the diversity management field has been hampered because there is little agreement over fundamental concepts, principles, and frameworks.

This profound conversation will expand your diversity paradigm and give your organization a vision toward developing World Class Diversity Management.
