We can never stop learning and doing our part in driving DEI at the front and centre of organizational changes. Key takeaways from the session - how do we attract and retain a diversified pool of talent esp at the senior level, should we establish clear DEI targets, how do we measure tangible ROI from DEI initiatives and interventions, is unconscious bias training still relevant, etc. Looks like there is alot more to be done. Great sharing from all the speakers and thank you Global Private Capital Association!
We Must Change the Narrative: GPCA Investors Training for Increasing Participation of Women in Private Capital Faculty practitioners from Global Private Capital Association members led a full-day session on the lessons learned and challenges ahead for increasing the participation of women in private capital. Topics ranged from the difference between quotas and targets, why people should focus on inclusiveness over numbers, the battle between compliance and politics, and how to try to increase buy-in from deal teams and portfolio management. When it comes to parity, “Thinking Big and Starting Small”, will bring results so long as one persists.
