KEY TAKEAWAYS:
1. The word minority hits a lot of buttons for a lot of people. The nomenclature is however there for a reason and at the end of the day when we are looking at black and brown organizations in the supplier diversity sector it is still the primary issue. We need to focus on the impact of the changes we as leaders are looking to make in our communities.
2. Activity to impact is a shift that will yield us our desired outcomes in this work of DEI.
3. Supplier diversity is foundational as you have a budget within any department of an organization. As a leader of our departments, we must get involved in theses decisions of how we spend our money and where opportunity is distributed.
4. What gets measured doesn’t always get done. If its not tied to your performance management and incentives, it may not get done. The reality is we are human being and there are many measures, and the incentives are crucial in getting things done.
5. Anytime you have an opportunity that will benefit the growth of the economy in your community speak up!
6. Contracts that are held by organizations, often people assume they must be 100% or nothing. Remember you can split the work and create a partnership that may help a smaller organization grow.
