Value Creation through Diversity Equity & Inclusion

4:30 pm 

New Year Reception & Farewell Celebration

6:00 pm

Today’s increasingly competitive business environment requires investors, acquirers and leaders to swiftly identify and execute on opportunities to optimize, innovate, and grow businesses.

We’re delighted to host a candid presentation led by a leading authority on leveraging Diversity Equity & Inclusion (DEI) as a tool to drive operational excellence and boost firm performance within the middle market and in M&A followed by a fireside chat.

    Additional Program Details

    FEATURED SPEAKER: Quinetta Roberson, Professor of Management and Psychology, Michigan State University

    Professor Roberson, a nationally recognized organizational psychologist, researcher, professor, author and advisor, will explore how an effective DEI program changes the way people experience organizations AND drives increased organizational effectiveness. Specifically she will cover: 

    • DEI and its role in driving business goals,
    • How business value is created through DEI both generally and within M&A;
    • Risk analysis in terms of internal and external factors that can mitigate the potential for DE&I impact; and
    • The pillars of an effective and sustainable DEI program

    In a fireside chat Q&A facilitated by Steve Higgins we will get a greater understanding of how firms are actively focused on driving DEI and how those considerations are impacting their portfolios. Audience questions are encouraged.
