​​​​​​Affirming our Diversity and Inclusion Position Considering Current Political and Social Discourse

Our views on strength in diversity haven’t changed and neither has our position on being evidence based and science led. Diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) is not only morally right and humane, it also leads to better outcomes as many studies have repeatedly confirmed. The need for people of good conscience - from all demographics and walks of life - to connect, share insights and good practices for the responsible and inclusive use of digital, data and AI solutions has intensified. It is critical that people who share these values are aware that there are others out there who believe that human rights belong in every sphere, including the digital sphere.

Only those that truly believe that their thoughts, actions and reflections can change the world will have the consciousness, gumption, audacity and will to even formulate the thoughts that lead to acts of trying, try and then get up to try again and again until they succeed.

My thought for you this afternoon! - A reflection
