AUT2210. Opening Remarks | Inclusion is Good for Business

Diversity, Equity and Inclusion is not a new concept. As a matter of fact, we have been talking about it for years yet. Progress is being made but there is more we can do to promote long term, meaningful, progress. Inclusive leadership must be an organizational design principle that is deeply woven across the various business units. As a result, leaders must reinforce their team building skills to maximize diversity of thought and innovation.
