  • New York, NY - Mar 2, 2010

Diversity strategy for many United States-based corporations has historically focused on issues of diversity within their U.S. headquarters. However, as the world of business has an increasingly international structure, corporate diversity leaders have recognized the need to view their U.S. efforts as just one part of a holistic global effort for their companies.

This highly interactive workshop is for those who are now or who aspire to be senior diversity leaders with a global perspective and portfolio. Through the use of case studies, exercises, discussion with peers, and guidance from experts in the field, participants will develop a toolkit of competencies that will assist them in achieving success in such roles.
