BUILDING A DIVERSE LEADERSHIP PIPELINE

This program is a comprehensive system designed to meet one of today’s most critical diversity challenges - achieving equitable representation of minorities and women in management and executive ranks. The terminology, “building a leadership pipeline,” assumes there is an orderly process for identifying candidates and moving them along a developmental path in keeping with the business needs of an enterprise.

For many employers the terminology is all there is. The pipeline that is referred to is instead a phantom, or figment of a desired state of being.

Too many employers have sought to meet the challenges of inclusion and equity through single-tactic, quick-fix approaches. These efforts continue to fall short of the mark because the diversity leadership needs within an organization are in reality, a systemic and multi-dimensional set of challenges which calls for interventions of equal or greater level.

This program offers:

• A comprehensive model built from the “best-in-class” leadership programs
• Diversity objectives integrated into every facet of the program
• Methods for upgrading and enhancing existing tactical approaches
• Essential add-in features missing from most leadership pipeline initiatives
• Guidance for bringing an initiative into being
• Specialized workshops for providing key linkages in program offerings
• A mechanism to monitor and measure progress and success
