In this moment of national reckoning, how can business leaders best show their support and advance racial equity in the workplace? By revitalizing their corporate purpose.
Companies are spinning their wheels when it comes to building diversity in leadership. Why? Because they are not focusing on the root causes of the problem.
Utilities face enormous pressure to make their grids fit for the future. This framework helps them meet the challenges at every stage of the journey.
A fully empowered procurement function can deliver material cost savings and broad, organization-wide benefits to a utility.
Companies can’t capture the real value of a diverse workforce until they create an organizational culture that welcomes everyone—truly everyone—to participate.
Company leaders must acknowledge their blind spots, respond to the needs of diverse groups, and focus on the measures that really work.
Power network operators face multiple potential disruptions. Widespread defection from the grid is just one of them.
