DEI strategy is principled and guided by strategic pillars, but real change comes from action. This informative session will examine why it is critical to generate energy and momentum incrementally — even if the steps are imperfect and need to be reassessed along the way — rather than waiting to change an entire system or organization in one fell swoop. Attendees will learn:
