Triage the DEI Inflection Points
Manage episode 444411907 series 3579925
In this episode, we delve into the concept of "inflection points" within the context of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) with guest Dave Daniels. We begin by defining an inflection point as a pivotal event that significantly alters the trajectory of a business or movement. Through a historical timeline, we highlight key milestones in DEI, from President Kennedy’s push for affirmative action in the 1960s to recent events like the 2023 Supreme Court ruling on affirmative action. We also explore how recent corporate cutbacks on DEI initiatives reflect ongoing legal, political, and financial pressures, prompting a reassessment of DEI’s future. Tune in to hear our thoughts on what these changes mean and strategies to maintain DEI's relevance moving forward.
