Four Pillars of Learning
At a time when charged social dynamics, racial and religious polarization, and political division are being experienced in communities across the globe, leaders need a space to come together, explore and learn from each other what it takes to advance efforts toward true diversity, equity and inclusion in today’s workplace. 2018 calls for future forward thinking that engages our community around these compelling questions:
How might understanding and leveraging emergent technology enable us to advance workplace inclusion?
How can we expand awareness through shared experiences to build global inclusion wherever we are?
How can we surface the wisdom of the next generation, and engage in reciprocal intergenerational leadership and followership?
How can we engender true belonging as our work teams expand across borders, time zones, and cultures?
