Many companies have made public commitments to Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DE&I) yet struggle to meet their DE&I goals. Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion has to be more than theoretical. The lack of practical, real-world advice for DE&I professionals, CEOs, and HR practitioners has resulted in poor outcomes, little change, and frustration with their diversity efforts.
Jason R. Thompson, award-winning diversity leader and author of Diversity and Inclusion Matters: Tactics and Tools to Inspire Equity
and Game-Changing Performance, delivers a groundbreaking and hands-on roadmap of how to build and implement a leading diversity program that achieves its goals and creates organizational change. Jason can provide weekly, and even daily, tactics to build an effective DE&I program. The practical and concrete steps are accompanied by advice on what data to collect and what metrics to measure, as well as how best to analyze and assess the data.
Jason will share how to choose effective and achievable diversity and inclusion goals for your organization given your current resources and how to measure the impact of the programs
implemented. The CAPE process developed by Jason will give you a practical tool to achieve your DE&I goals. Jason can provide actionable guidance on how to manage and lead a diversity council, the order in which to establish programs to ensure the success of each subsequent piece of the puzzle, and how to get early buy-in—and a long-term commitment— from a CEO.
Jason has developed and led diversity programs in higher education, sports (US Olympic and Paralympic Committee), healthcare, and tech (Techstars). He has been quoted by The New York Times, The Washington Post, The Guardian, USA Today, FOX News, and CNN.
