We've seen research from
Ford's Boston Consulting Group,

{{00:00:12}}
Deloitte, Harvard Business Review.

{{00:00:14}}
It all shows that more diverse teams
leads to more profitable businesses.

{{00:00:19}}
So I think it's really important
that we do move away from DEI being

{{00:00:23}}
seen as a nice to have and being
seen as a, business imperative.

{{00:00:27}}
Yeah, I would almost agree, disagree
with the statement because I do believe

{{00:00:32}}
it's important to continue addressing
it and highlighting the importance at

{{00:00:37}}
the same time, yes, if you show results
of diverse teams and what it really

{{00:00:42}}
delivers in terms of value for companies.

{{00:00:45}}
This will really move the needle.

{{00:00:47}}
There are so many conversations around
diversity, equity, and inclusion

{{00:00:51}}
that end up not turning into action.

{{00:00:53}}
And one of the key focus points for me
at the moment and the industry is to

{{00:00:57}}
make sure that we are truly walking our
talk when it comes to DEI initiatives

{{00:01:01}}
and policies within businesses.

{{00:01:03}}
And the ones that really make a
difference are the ones that are

{{00:01:05}}
focused on measurements, targets,
and getting everybody involved.

{{00:01:09}}
And the way to get everybody involved
is to really understand and promote.

{{00:01:13}}
The why, it's important to have
diversity of thought, why it's important

{{00:01:17}}
to have different people in the room
from different backgrounds, and how

{{00:01:20}}
we can improve the longevity of each
of our products within the business.
