I had the privilege of working with Michael as a part of the World HRD Congress 25th Anniversary Diversity and Inclusion program. Michael prepared a special kick off program for the event that was very inspirational and helped us start the day on the right note. His fact based insights are very impactful and an asset to any diversity and inclusion program by insuring that the bottom line impacts are visible and real. He is very dedicated to meeting the needs of the conference or program and to being able to customize and still beautifully maintain the integrity of his work.
Good for society (and for CSR)
Diversity & Inclusion contribute to social progress—although not as a compliance exercise, but rather as a strategic lever for business. Companies are not tasked with compensating for historical or social disadvantages, but with making untapped potential visible and contributing through fair, objective processes for all.
“Anything is possible—when we approach D&I with a business mindset and a positive vision. For everyone, with everyone.” Michael Stuber
Legal compliance has limited reach, and ethical appeals typically preach to the converted. Those who view D&I as a driver of performance, growth and purpose act with foresight—because they create shared success.
From Compliance to Positive Impact
D&I should not (like equality or -isms) focus on deficits or gaps—it’s neither necessary nor appealing. Instead, we aim at activating unused potential and putting corporate values into practice. This is how ESG initiatives gain additional societal substance—while creating business and individual value.
ENGINEERING D&I.
