PARTICIPTANTS:
All stakeholders in leadership development of identified high-potentials and accelerated development candidates. These include diversity officers, human resources representatives, diversity council boards, leadership development and training professionals.

OVERVIEW:
Many organizations struggle with the lack of diversity in their leadership ranks and seek
to close the gap by developing a leadership pipeline which emphasizes diversity.
Growing an effective pipeline requires a pro-active, sustainable, and integrated
approach - not a single-tactic, quick-fix initiative. Any strategy to increase the number of
diverse leadership prospects must focus greater attention on the development of mid-career professionals, trapped behind and underneath the Glass Ceiling.

Effective pipelines are comprehensive in nature providing development to those identified as high-potential leadership candidates and their managers. Such an effort delivers extensive feeder groups of leadership prospects capable of assuming greater responsibilities within their organizations.

CONTENT:
Building a Diversity Pipeline Strategy requires diversity to be intertwined into each significant phase of the development process and collaboration between the individual candidate and key stakeholders within the organization. The resulting system includes fair and equitable practices at each step which features:

Identification of leadership and accelerated development candidates
A Comprehensive approach to development including candidates and their managers
Integration of leadership development tactics (both informal and formal)
Oversight of the total development process, including the placement of candidates.

The critical components to be reviewed in a Diversity Pipeline Strategy are:

Hidden biases within methods for identifying talent
Individual Development Planning;
Mentoring,
Coaching,
Specialty leadership workshops for minorities and women
Involvement in succession planning (and high potential designations),
Stretch job assignments and rotation, and
Diversity Education for Management
