Updating and expanding the business case for diversity

16 January 2020

UK capital markets

While research from McKinsey and Credit Suisse correlating increased diversity with performance has its place, it is time to update and expand the business case for diversity and inclusion. The diversity and inclusion landscape has shifted significantly, and so must the justification for why business needs to take diversity seriously.


At this breakfast roundtable we will discuss our forthcoming thought paper exploring the different ways organisations are changing how they frame the business case, including broadening their understanding of how diversity drives innovation, minimises group think and reduces reputational risk; how different business areas are increasingly involved in delivering diversity; how the business case needs to be adapted to speak to middle managers and challenge assumptions around client expectations; and how improving diversity data will quantify the impact of D&I.


This is the third event in our Radical Actions series of ideas we think could radically shift diversity outcomes.


This event is likely to be attended by people working in a range of job titles across D&I and HR, and from the business side those with accountability for D&I or diversity leads/champions.
