| Popis: | PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to examine the challenges of rolling out diversity and inclusion (D&I) initiatives globally and to provide leaders with guidance for successful global implementation of their D&I initiatives.Design/methodology/approachPossible methods examined include highly tailored global diversity curricula and numerous interviews with global D&I leaders from around the world. The recommendation and analysis of these methods is based on 25 years of Global Dynamics' experience consulting multinational companies on global diversity matters.FindingsThe author's research has found that global implementation of a Western‐centric approach to diversity and inclusion is a guarantee of failure. Leaders must be aware of the potential risk areas involved in implementing global D&I initiatives; appreciation of the ways the dimensions of diversity vary in scope and importance across cultures is key.Originality/valueThis paper is based on more than 25 years of experience working with the world's leading international organizations to enhance their global performance. |
