DEI in the American Shadow

This presentation explores the impacts of the visibility and centrality of US-based corporate DEI in global practice and imagination. Combining organizational research with observations from her practice consulting to multi-national corporations, Henderson will discuss cultural “reactance,” including factors that may shape individual attitudes within national cultures. She will also discuss strategies for integrating culturally sensitive considerations when seeking to extend and adapt US-based research and practices to other contexts. Acknowledging global commonalities, Henderson will explore nuances that may influence acceptance and effectiveness of DEI in local contexts.
