Discussions about diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) are center stage in many organizations. This conversation is not new–it’s just that DEI is a topic on which attention ebbs and flows.

When inequities and bad behavior risk or damage individual or organizational reputation, microscopic focus ensues. When things seem to rock along smoothly, focus moves elsewhere.

Organization leaders pledge hundreds of millions of dollars to commission studies, launch training sessions, and hire consultants and diversity czars. But is it working?

Some experts argue that, despite decades of hand wringing, costly initiatives, and uncomfortable conversations, organizations have, apart from a few exceptions, fallen far short of their goals.

Renewed interest in DEI has prompted organization leaders to reflect on the progress (or lack of progress) they have made with these efforts. As one Wall Street Journal article states, “It’s time to move from saying, “We need to do this“ to asking “What are we doing with this?”

Showing the value of DEI investments can be challenging for some professionals. This session will describe how to measure the value, including ROI, of DEI programs.

Learn to:

1. Identify the five levels of outcomes from DEI programs
2. Explain the need to deliver impact and ROI for selected DEI programs
3. Design DEI programs to deliver application, impact, and ROI
4. Plan the next steps to ensure DEI programs delivers value

Presenter:  Patti Phillips, (LinkedIn profile) Ph.D.Is president / CEO of the ROI Institute. She is an expert in measurement and evaluation,and author of Measuring Leadership Development: Quantify Your Program’s Impact and ROI on Organizational Performance. Patti applies ROI Methodology to leadership development programs, coaching initiatives.

How many times have you heard statements like:

• “How did we miss this in test”,
• “This defect doesn’t happen on my machine”,
• “We do not need automation”, or
• “We are waiting on testing to give us the green light”?

Far too often, teams are spending a lot of time diving into discussions that they no longer need to have. This builds frustration, affects team alignment, and can potentially impact the quality and milestones of the project.Through the years, we have seen a need for processes, tools, and old–school approaches to change.

Discussions we needed to have years ago are no longer the same now.

There is a need for strategic changes in how we operate within a project and how we communicate across teams.With over 25 years of experience in IT, Mike Lyles (LinkedIn profile) has held various roles: from developer, project management office, development management, and ultimately testing.

He has witnessed the paradigm shift required to measure success on teams and the speed at which we must reach goals as compared to the past. And most importantly, he has taken part in discussions which are losing their relevancy and need a major overhaul in our workforce today.

Join the discussion, between Rex and Mike, as they discuss many of the well–known phrases, philosophies, and theories around testing of years past, and how that we must overcome the obstacles to be successful today.
