This ongoing series is offered as part of the new HARRT at UCLA DEI & Belonging Network which is a forum dedicated to providing participants with programming, research, and networking to further the effort of diversity and belonging in the workplace.

Description: As organizations implement new Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging (DEIB) strategies, many leaders overlook the importance of incorporating transformational change approaches into their plans. A panel of highly accomplished experts featuring Ian Ziskin, Karen Jaw-Madson, and Sophia Kristjansson will provide a variety of perspectives on why an inclusive change culture is imperative to achieving sustainable DEIB change. Questions to be discussed will focus on what it takes to lead, survive, and even thrive when creating culture change:

1. What are the three most important considerations when implementing transformational change?
2. What is the value of applying transformational change approaches to DEIB strategies?
3. What do leaders who drive and sustain successful transformational change, actually do?
