Join the CGO for an interactive session on DIVERSITY PROGRAMS AND
THEIR PURPORTED INEFFECTIVENESS. CGO Scholars Evangelina Holvino
[http://www.chaosmanagement.com/about-us/evangelina-holvino] and Stacy
Blake-Beard [http://www.simmons.edu/Faculty/Stacy-BlakeBeard] will
partner to interrogate a Harvard Business Review article –“Why
Diversity Programs Fail,”
[https://hbr.org/2016/07/why-diversity-programs-fail] written in 2016
by Frank Dobbin and Alexandra Kalev.A historical overview of diversity
in the United States will frame the discussion followed by a critical
analysis of the so-called failures and successes of diversity efforts.
The audience will be asked to contribute to the discussion by
examining their own experience with DIVERSITY PROGRAMS. We will
conclude by identifying what it might take to move the needle in our
efforts towards more equality in organizations given the current
national context.
