Excited to be attending the The Conference Board DEI conference this week, where I'll have the privilege of hearing insights from industry leaders like my KPMG US colleagues, Elena Richards and Keith Hines. They'll share invaluable perspectives on the importance of collaboration between #DEI and #supplierdiversity in today's corporate landscape. In a world where diversity is not just a buzzword but a crucial component of success, Elena and Keith will dig into why fostering a diverse strategy remains paramount. Diversity in our people and with our #suppliers brings multifaceted perspectives that propel organizations forward, from driving #innovation, economic resilience that enhances portfolio of opportunities for our people, citizens and the #community. Moreover, as we navigate an increasingly interconnected global marketplace, embracing diversity isn't just a moral imperative—it's a strategic advantage. Organizations prioritizing DEI through an economic value lens will easily identify the natural synergies that a strong procurement and diverse supplier strategy will afford. Inclusive cultures where every voice is heard and valued fosters employee engagement and retention and drives business #performance. I look forward to gaining valuable insights from Elena and Keith's session and engaging in meaningful discussions in the sessions and afterwards! #KPMGESG #Diversity #Equity #Inclusion #Leadership #Culture #supplierdiversity #inclusivesustainability

Key insights from our latest DEI Leader event! 🌟 At our recent DEI Leader Panel Discussion, we gathered valuable insights on driving DEI initiatives forward. Here are the highlights: 💡 Board-Level commitment: The support of your board matters. Board sponsorship is crucial to embed DEI at the highest levels of decision-making and resource allocation. 💡 Integrate DEI into Business Strategy: DEI should be an integral part of your business strategy, not a standalone initiative. This seamless integration ensures that DEI principles guide all aspects of your operations. 💡 Holistic social impact: There's a growing trend of combining ESG efforts with DEI initiatives under a broader 'social impact' umbrella. This comprehensive approach amplifies the positive change we can achieve together. 💡 Measure impact: Utilize comprehensive surveys and tools to continuously assess the employee experience and measure the year-over-year impact of your DEI initiatives. 💡 Engage everyone: DEI is a collective effort! Encourage all employees to actively participate by incorporating DEI contributions into performance assessments. This ensures that DEI work is recognized and valued across the organization. 💡 Regional nuances matter: Navigating DEI across different regions comes with unique challenges. For instance, "diversity fatigue" in the US might not resonate globally. The approach to DEI must be culturally sensitive and adaptable. Thank you to our fantastic panelists! 🙌🏽💫 #DEI #DiversityEquityInclusion #SocialImpact #BusinessStrategy #EmployeeEngagement #

Seek Out The People Who Disrupt You I’ve been reflecting on the OWL EMEA Emerging Leader Summit 2024 that I was fortunate enough to attend recently. This was a gathering of 300 Oracle women, who had all been nominated as emerging leaders, with a conference schedule kicked off by Cormac Watters with keynotes, interactive sessions focusing on growth areas, presentations on key topics such as AI, Future of Work, Cultural Intelligence alongside opportunities to connect with other people across the organisation. The OWL committee put together a compelling agenda covering key topics that would stretch us, provide plenty to think about and identify actions we could take to continue to develop, make connections and share the knowledge with others. A key tenet of OWL is to Pay It Forward, so here are 3 actions I'd like to share with you from the conference: Patty Azzarello - connection - building strong connections is important, make a note of 3 people each month that you want to spend time with and then actually put a slot in your calendar to do just that. It could be a phone call, an email or a LinkedIn reach out, remember your only goal is to say “hello”. Lain Hensley - HEAD DREAM CHASER - recognition - look for the things that you, your team and your organisation are doing well and celebrate them. If you are looking for mistakes you will find them, if you are looking for things you are all doing well, you’ll find them. Elga Long - energy - flow will help your performance, poverty of attention will not. Identify your top priority for the day, focus on activities that will have the most long-term leverage, write it down and work on it in a 90-minute cycle with no distractions - no slack, no phone, no email. Don’t compromise yourself. Huge thanks to all the OWL team for helping to make this event happen and especially to Alice Goodchild who led the charge in putting this event together. Tania Le Voi was an excellent MC throughout the event, and gratitude also goes to senior leaders from across the organisation who contributed through presentations, panel discussions and speed networking, helping to make this a valuable conference. Every single attendee had a contribution to make and it was great to be reminded that whilst Oracle is a big organisation the thread of customer obsession and ensuring customer success runs throughout. #oraclewomenlead #oracleforall #womenintech #oraclewomenintech

🔵🟡 Yesterday I had the pleasure of attending our parent company Invesco EMEA’s DEI groups event. Massive shout out to Devvya Sharma for organising such an inspiring event. I came away feeling energized by the discussions and insights shared. DEI is something I am incredibly passionate about. In today's interconnected world, DEI is not just a moral imperative but a business one. DEI networks foster environments where diverse perspectives are valued, driving innovation, creativity, and better decision-making. These networks empower employees to bring their whole selves to work, enhancing engagement and productivity. The event highlighted how important DEI networks are and how they can: 🔵 Enhance Global Collaboration by bridging cultural gaps and promoting mutual understanding. 🟡 Drive Market Growth - Diverse teams better understand and serve diverse markets. 🔵 Foster Talent Retention - Inclusive cultures attract and retain top talent from all backgrounds. 🟡 Encourage Leadership Development - DEI networks provide mentorship and growth opportunities for underrepresented groups. Oscar Armitage, Monica Danson-Scadden it was great connecting with you and hearing how passionate you are about the networks you are involved in. It’s also great to see sponsorship of the networks from people like Mark Bartley, Michael Isola, Adrian Mulryan Denise Slater and Rene Marston. Investing in DEI networks is investing in people and the future of businesses. Let's continue to champion DEI initiatives and create workplaces where everyone can thrive. Glad I work for a company like intelliflo that shares the passion. Invesco US Invesco Ltd.

Does changing the demographic composition of your board ensure that diverse perspectives are a primary component of your decision-making process? 🤨 → Short answer: Not really… The Harvard Business Review has found that: → “when directors from underrepresented groups are *effectively* integrated, boards exhibit a more collaborative decision-making process.” So board room behaviour changes when boards become more diverse. But does it actually drive positive action? HBR found that boards with ineffectively integrated female directors: → 🚫 Voted Preemptively to mask disagreements. → 🚫 Overlooked many perspectives. → 🚫 Were overconfident in their decisions. While boards with *effectively* integrated female directors: → ✅ Took time to reach a common understanding. → ✅ Ensured that nobody’s opinions were disregarded. → ✅ Made more unified decisions on which everyone was clear. And why is that so great? As opposed to diverse boards without an inclusive process, well-integrated teams: → 📈 Experienced 10% higher stock returns. → 📈 And their shareholders were 8% less likely to formally dissent to board decisions.
