Listen "Triage the DEI Inflection Points"
Episode Synopsis
In this episode, we delve into the concept of "inflection points" within the context of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) with guest Dave Daniels. We begin by defining an inflection point as a pivotal event that significantly alters the trajectory of a business or movement. Through a historical timeline, we highlight key milestones in DEI, from President Kennedy’s push for affirmative action in the 1960s to recent events like the 2023 Supreme Court ruling on affirmative action. We also explore how recent corporate cutbacks on DEI initiatives reflect ongoing legal, political, and financial pressures, prompting a reassessment of DEI’s future. Tune in to hear our thoughts on what these changes mean and strategies to maintain DEI's relevance moving forward.1961- Pres Kennedy established President's Commission on the Status of Women1961 - President Kennedy pushes for AA in federal agencies (EO-10925)1963- Equal Pay Act becomes law1964- Civil Rights Act- prohibit discrimination1965 - LBJ signed executive order (EO - 11246)1987- Hudson Institute publishes WF 20001990- Americans with Disabilities Act 2020 - murder of George Floyd 2023 - Supreme Court reversal of AA in UniversitiesIgenesisIntercultural Development InventorySHRMDave Daniels Consulting
