EWD 713 - Promoting Diversity

Organizational mission, vision, and value statements frequently include language that indicates "diversity" as a guiding principle or deeply held ideal. Those organizations that truly want to put these words into meaningful action may find it difficult to articulate what they mean and how to accomplish them. This course addresses the idea of embracing and adopting diversity. Learning objectives include: (1) Defining diversity in practical, meaningful, and useful terms, (2) Developing strategies for increasing diversity in leadership ranks, (3) Exploring implicit bias in contemporary leadership competency models and working to reduce it, (4) Building a business case for purposefully increasing diversity in the workforce.
