A recent economist study concluded that racism and inequity has cost the U.S. alone $16 Trillion. Other studies have demonstrated that diverse teams are up to 30% more profitable than their competitors. In the wake of a tumultuous year, more companies are reassessing and prioritizing their diversity, inclusion, and equity (DEI) efforts. Yes, focusing on DEI is the right thing to do from a larger social perspective – but it’s also good for business.


In this recent webinar, MIT Sloan Lecturer Malia Lazu will share insights and best practices from her extensive DEI work in urban entrepreneurship, civic organization, and community banking to help you make the necessary cultural changes to bring about real DEI impact at work – and beyond.


Key points covered:

  • shifting your culture to go from idea to impact
  • solving the right problems (and including the right stakeholders)
  • connecting social responsibility and social strategy
