{1:50 – 2pm} | What Gets Measured Gets Done | An overview of the Inclusion and Diversity Accountability Consortium (IDAC) from Carol Watson, Senior Director, Global Member Engagement, Diversity Best Practices
- The marketing and media industry has long proclaimed a desire to achieve a workforce that is reflective of the global population, but after years of diversity pledges and proclamations, very little progress has been made. IDAC is a measurement-based initiative (launched by She Runs It and Diversity Best Practices), that requires corporate leaders to replace good intentions with hard data and trackable action. To date, the Consortium has attracted major marketers, publishers, industry organizations and agencies. But not nearly enough of them. Carol Watson is on a mission to stop admiring the problem and start fixing it. Join this session to learn how meaningful change might finally be possible.
