Apparo’s CIO Insights, has been renamed to CXO Tech Insights. CXO Tech Insights is still the same series of five forums, giving local CIOs and other IT professionals exclusive opportunities during the year to hear from leaders in the technology industry around hot topics, business challenges, and solutions and best practices, as well as to network with business partners and peers.
Topic Background: Many organizations are embracing diversity, equity, and inclusion as business imperatives, with a growing number adopting holistic, organization-wide workforce strategies that address biases and inequities to enhance enterprise and employee performance. Technology leaders play y a critical role as a DEI strategic partner by designing, developing, and executing tech-enabled solutions to address increasingly complex DEI workforce challenges. Our panelists provided overviews of how their organizations have embraced DEI and how they are tackling the issues that come with it.
They shared how they’ve made DEI a crucial pillar of their organizations by tackling issues such as:
- Strengthening innovation through strategic alignment to diversity and inclusion
- Collaborating with their D&I groups to think differently about recruiting, staffing on projects, and leadership development
- Maximizing tools and analytics to internally combat bias
- Navigating the issue of unconscious bias in the building and deploying AI/ML and other tech tools
- And more
Thank you to our panelists for channeling this topic and sharing how these findings are helping them lead in their industries.
