THEME:
Cultural Evolution: Keeping Pace with Organizational Diversity
Responding to the dramatic change in the composition
of the global workforce in recent years has been a cultural challenge
for many organizations. A more diverse population working at an increasingly
fast pace requires an organizational culture that embraces change and
continuous learning. This workshop explores ways that organizations
can keep pace with changing business and workforce diversity needs through
new approaches to cultural evolution. Speakers, panelists and participants
are from a variety of companies known for their strong, yet adaptable,
cultures.
KEYNOTE ADDRESS: Jane Margolis, Ed.D., Research Educationist, Univ. of California, Los Angeles Graduate
School of Education and Information Studies.
Jane Margolis is co-author of the award-winning book
Unlocking the Clubhouse (MIT Press, 2002). This book resulted from a
four-year study of the gender gap at Carnegie Mellon University School
of Computer Science. Her work focuses on inequity in education. She
is currently involved in a three-year study in Los Angeles public schools,
which examines why so few African-American and Latino students are learning
computer science at the high school level. She received her doctorate
from the Harvard Graduate School of Education in 1990, where she studied
with feminist psychologist Carol Gilligan. Margolis has discussed her
research on radio, at universities, and at industries around the country.
