Virtual Event from AME - Delivering on Your Commitment to Excellence

Tuesday, September 12th, 9:00am

An organization can only achieve true excellence when all its diverse racial, ethnic, and cultural groups experience the same great results from its offerings.

CultureBrokers calls this “equity.” Let's be honest, most of our systems were not designed with this explicit goal in mind. We must transform them. In this session, we'll explore what it takes to deliver excellence to all segments of your customers and workforce, especially those that are typically overlooked, marginalized, and under-resourced. Using the Baldrige Framework, we will “circle the puck” by examining some specific applications within leadership, strategy, measurement and knowledge management, operations, and results from the perspective of culturally diverse customers and workforce.

Virtual Event from AME - Operationalizing Equity. 

Tuesday, June 6th, 9:00am

CultureBrokers defines equity as “results that do not differ by race, ethnicity, culture, and other meaningful differences.” Interpreted in this way, equity moves from an abstract and amorphous concept toward a practical, structured effort. In this session, we will share how you can operationalize equity using this definition via three big objectives: Proving Commitment, Leveraging Structure and Being Disciplined. We will explore some key principles and related actions in support of these objectives which can ultimately become a living, valuable part of the way your organization behaves. Finally, we will crosswalk this with the Baldrige DEI criteria so you can see how these support each other.
