Course Overview
Data on global team diversity is abundant; insight about it is not. People decide what the wider people management and development agenda really means by watching who gets promoted. Discussion is anchored to worked examples of this aspect of people management and development rather than to abstract argument. Plans for global team diversity often fail at the handover point between functions. The programme is built to be used, and every section of the practice within people management and development it covers ends in something applicable. They leave able to brief senior management on this part of people management and development in terms that support a decision. It is pitched for practitioners with responsibility for global team diversity, not for observers of it. Mature organisations treat this strand of people management and development as a standing capability rather than a project that finishes. The course ends by identifying what the participant will stop doing to make the people management and development capability sustainable.
