CIOs can play a crucial role in taking advantage of a rare opportunity to reinvent a “forever hybrid” world.

Do not settle for the common equation that Hybrid = Remote + Onsite. Question everything.

1. How should your enterprise engage with customers? What are the new ways of working?
2. How can we reinvent life activities, such as exercising, learning, and watching sports?

In this webinar Hung LeHong, (LinkedIn profile, Gartner bio) Gartner Distinguished VP Analyst pushes CIOs and IT leaders to reinvent the hybrid equation and guide yourself and your enterprise in new directions.

CIOs and IT leaders have a great opportunity to reshape what we do and how we live because hybrid is technology driven. Thus, they shouldn’t just respond to the business but help guide it.

Discussion Topics:

• Why CIOs play a crucial role in reinventing a “forever hybrid” world
• How we will reshape customer engagement, ways of working, life activities and more
• Steps CIOs can take to alter the hybrid equation and drive new success

In simple terms, an ally is someone who stands up for the equitable and fair treatment of someone who is different from them.

Anyone can be an ally for a marginalized or vulnerable group; it involves actively listening and learning about others’ experiences, as well as taking action to end discrimination. Allyship hinges on embracing a learning mindset and a willingness to question your assumptions, evolve your thinking, and owning your mistakes.

In this webinar, Christa will explore the relationship between inclusion and belonging, reflecting on dimensions of diversity that have shaped our personal access to opportunity.

Christa will investigate the concepts of power and privilege through a relational lens, identifying concrete steps we can take to interrupt bias and address injustice.

Lastly, she’ll delve into real-life scenarios involving micro-aggressions and discrimination, brainstorming ways that allies can take action.

Key topics covered:

• Define key terminology related to allyship
• Make a connection between belonging, engagement, and productivity
• Articulate what it means to act as an ally to a marginalized group
• Explain how bystander behavior contributes to bias and exclusion
• Identify concrete actions that allies can take in addressing bias and discrimination
• Brainstorm inclusive actions an ally could take in real-life scenarios
