For you to achieve outstanding diversity & inclusion results requires strong social intelligence, the ability to evaluate and influence other people’s social interactions. Our evolutionary background has resulted in unconscious bias and other problematic mental patterns (called cognitive biases) that lead to tribal behaviors, undermining D&I initiatives. To deal with tribalism, pioneering organizations are applying social intelligence-based strategies to address the cognitive biases that result in tribalism and undercut D&I. This presentation offers case studies from these pioneering organizations and provides clear takeaways to help you achieve outstanding D&I results.

Learning Objectives

  • Assess situations where these biases might impact your D&I efforts

Why Should You Attend

Despite a commitment by organizational leaders to outstanding D&I efforts, very few organizations actually achieve excellence in this area. Why? Cutting-edge research in behavioral economics and neuroscience on social intelligence suggests this gap between aspiration and reality stems from lacking a true grasp of the underlying problems in human mental patterns that undermine D&I efforts. This training provides the knowledge you need not only to understand why D&I efforts usually fail to achieve their goals, along with best practices from pioneering organizations that have incorporated social intelligence-based strategies into their practices.
