This was a group of future Chief People Officers* who will need to make sense of their own organisational diversity and make it work with their management and programs to drive innovation and employee engagement - hopefully, they will be as inclusive as possible.
In the D&I space, IBM is well referenced with their very established program, which is already far advanced to many organisations and even countries. They would be described as a "comprehensive proactive organisation" for their D&I initiatives.
For IBM's Diversity 3.0 to work, it has to be driven from the very top echelons of the corporation and cascaded thru the entire command and control function. They do it very well, cos they have been at it for sometime now...since the EO days to today's inclusive corporation.
A shining symbol of the values they espouse for their D&I initiatives can be traced back to this letter from former Chairman and CEO Thomas J Watson. They even did a very inspiring video.
This letter was written 60 years ago in 1953.

Diversity=about the "Mix", Inclusion=how the "mix" works well together!
Are you ready for a truly diverse and inclusive workforce?
