Driving Strategic, Systemic Change Using an Inclusion Value Stream Methodology

Description

Linking and aligning the organization’s strategic business objectives with diversity and inclusion processes is the only credible way to achieve the organization’s vision and strategy. Value stream thinking is a fundamental process for diversity and inclusion (D&I) professionals who want to learn how to ensure their D&I initiatives drive ROI-based business successes. Without it, D&I professionals fail to develop measurable diversity and inclusion ROI-based outcomes that meet C-suite’s expectations. Value stream analysis and mapping provides the means for D&I professionals and leadership to define strategic improvements to the business workflow.

This interactive session will use a case study approach where participant teams apply the step-by-step methodology to make certain their diversity and inclusion initiatives include value stream thinking to drive measureable, systemic change and impact.

Learning Outcomes:

• Using a case study approach, participant teams will apply value stream analysis and mapping to a current inclusion initiative.
• Calculate three value stream analysis and mapping-based analytics that reflect inclusion ROI impact.
• Learn how diversity and inclusion value stream analysis and mapping demonstrate tangible value that meets stakeholder financial and other expectations.
