DITA 2022 Panel

Join our DITA 2022 panel as we explore the importance of driving diversity, equity, and inclusion to create a better society, not just a business case, and learn how individuals can leverage their privilege to make a positive impact.

Key takeaways
  • Diversity, equity, and inclusion should be driven by a commitment to creating a better society, not just a business case.
  • The power to create change is in the room, and individuals should leverage their privilege to make a difference.
  • Allyship is important, but it’s not just about speaking up; it’s about being willing to listen, learn, and adapt.
  • A society with more safety, lower crime rates, and greater equity is a desirable goal, but it requires individual efforts to challenge biases and create a more inclusive environment.
  • The cost of not having equity is massive, and it affects not only individuals but also businesses and society as a whole.
  • Individuals should strive to be aware of their own biases and privilege, and take steps to create a more inclusive environment in their daily lives and workplaces.
  • A meritocracy is a myth, and it’s essential to challenge this assumption by recognizing the importance of intersectional diversity and creating a more inclusive environment.
  • Technology and artificial intelligence can be used to measure and track diversity, equity, and inclusion, but it’s crucial to ensure that these efforts are driven by a commitment to creating a better society, rather than just creating a more profitable business.
  • Education and awareness are key to creating a more inclusive environment, and individuals should strive to learn from others and understand what it’s like to be in someone else’s shoes.
