ACT: Setting DEI Targets Without Discrimination
When laying out DEI strategies, most organizations rely on metrics and targets based entirely or primarily on representation (i.e., diversity). Aside from the difficulty of selecting meaningful targets, this is a dangerous practice that can lead to internal backlash.
This webinar shows the importance of prioritizing equity and introduces a way of measuring equity that completely avoids the zero-sum game mindset that often leads to internal backlash.
Speaker Paolo Gaudiano
A former tenured professor turned entrepreneur, Paolo Gaudiano is Chief Scientist of Aleria, President of ARC, Adjunct at NYU Stern School of Business, and Chairman of the annual Diversity & Inclusion Research Conference.
Paolo is a regular Forbes contributor on DEI and author of the 2024 book Measuring Inclusion: Higher Profits and Happier People, Without Guesswork or Backlash. He has published dozens of academic papers and over 100 blogs in major online publications and has been recognized with numerous awards, including a Moonshot House Fellowship from the Kravis Center for Social Impact for his work on DEI.
