Quick Talk Podcast: The human factor (a.k.a. the business of diversity)

In this episode of Quick Talk, I talk to Vicky Sleight who heads up TM Forum’s new Diversity & Inclusion Council and runs collaboration projects focused on developing tools and best practices for diversity and inclusion specifically.

Vicky not only explains how diversity and inclusion can accelerate business transformation, but also the difficult role of today's chief diversity officers. She offers perspective on what companies need to do to set these new C-Level folks up for success. The Forum’s Diversity & Inclusion Council is made up of BT, Colt, Deutsche Telekom, Verizon, Accenture, Amdocs, Bain & Co., and Nokia. With Rachael Higham, Managing Director of IT, BT, as the Diversity & Inclusion Council Chair, the group is working to tie diversity and inclusion to positive business outcomes.
