Speaker Spotlight: DEI Book Club Picks!Lean Impact: How to Innovate for Radically Greater Social Good by Ann Mei ChangDespite enormous investments of time and money, are we making a dent on the social and environmental challenges of our time? What if we could exponentially increase our impact?Around the world, a new generation is looking beyond greater profits, for meaningful purpose. But, unlike business, few social interventions have achieved significant impact at scale. Inspired by the modern innovation practices, popularized by bestseller The Lean Startup, that have fueled technology breakthroughs touching every aspect of our lives, Lean Impact turns our attention to a new goal - radically greater social good.Social change is far more complicated than building a new app. It requires more listening, more care, and more stakeholders. To make a lasting difference, solutions must be embraced by beneficiaries, address root causes, and include an engine that can accelerate growth to reach the scale of the need. Lean Impact offers bold ideas to reach audacious goals through customer insight, rapid experimentation and iteration, and a relentless pursuit of impact.Ann Mei Chang brings a unique perspective from across sectors, from her years as a tech executive in Silicon Valley to her most recent experience as the Chief Innovation Officer at USAID. She vividly illustrates the book with real stories from interviews with over 200 organizations across the US and around the world.Whether you are a nonprofit, social enterprise, triple bottom line company, foundation, government agency, philanthropist, impact investor, or simply donate your time and money, Lean Impact is an essential guide to maximizing social impact and scale.Creating an LGBT+ Inclusive Workplace: The Practical Resource Guide for Business Leaders by Kryss ShaneSetting out best practices and professional guidance for creating LGBT+ inclusive workplaces, this approachable and easy to follow book guides current and future leaders of all industries toward appropriate and proven ways to create safer working environments, update company policies, enhance continuing education and training, and better support LGBT+ people in the workplace.Featuring real-life situations and scenarios, a glossary, and further resources, Creating an LGBT+ Inclusive Workplace enables professionals in all aspects of professional roles to integrate foundational concepts into their everyday interactions with staff at all levels as well as within the community to create an overall workplace culture that nurtures a welcoming, inclusive, and affirming environment for all.

So the LGBTQ+ folks and allies within Copacino Fujikado decided to do something about it. Combining departments, identities, and experiences, we focused on the thing almost every brand focuses on during Pride: the flag and its colors. The result is a Pride Brand Guide for organizations written specifically for the thinkers, writers, designers, AD's, content-creators, or any marketer who says "let's do something for Pride!" The guide strives to help brands go beyond a rainbow logo for a more purposeful, inclusive, and authentic Pride initiative.Cooking in Heels by Ceyenne DoroshowIn Cooking in Heels, Ceyenne Doroshow offers up 40 Southern-style favorites with a Caribbean twist. As a transgender woman who was inspired to write her book while serving prison time for a prostitution conviction, Ceyenne might not seem like the most likely representative of home cooked family values. But her book, which is peppered with good humor and begins with the story of her life, shows that food and love are the ties that bind, and family is what you make it.Learn More About These Amazing Initiatives & Organizations:The House Committee on Veterans' Affairs MastercardPreziNational Black Justice CoalitionGLITSIndeedO.schoolRevryFacebookTwitterButterfly Strategies LLC TranslatorRebelMouseGaingelsNYC Anti-Violence ProjectPFLAG AustinMathison World Economic ForumNational LGBT Chamber of Commerce, New York (nglccNY)SumOfUsKevin Chase Executive Search GroupDILAN Consulting GroupForterra.orgCombatants for PeaceONE Archives FoundationBlack Remote SheGarden State EqualityStartOutBristol Myers SquibbT.

Women in Big Data

Our Story Women in Big Data (WiBD) started as a grass-roots organization in 2015 with the mission to inspire and connect women in big data careers. Starting with 15 members and one chapter in San Francisco's Bay Area, the WiBD community grew to over 17,000 members across 37 chapters and six continents spreading inspiration, growing networks, and promoting member success on an ever-expanding platform. In 2020, the organization filed paperwork that shifted Women in Big Data from grassroots to non-profit, expanding funding capabilities and laying a foundation for a new mission. The founders realized that, as important as inspiration and connection are, their ability to move the needle on a future in which gender and resources don't limit equitable participation is finite. A new mission was outlined to cultivate tangible opportunities; unlock latent potential, act as a catalyst for advancement, and empower equity allies of any gender. Women in Big Data is an inclusive community who appreciate that, in the broadest sense, big data is a tool being harnessed at every level, in every industry today, to shape tomorrow. Broader diversity among leaders and practitioners will improve the use and function of big data, ensuring a future that's better for all of us.Don't miss out the chance to visit their non-profit launch blog: https://www.womeninbigdata.org/women-in-big-data-usa-non-profit-launch WiBD global video faces www.youtube.com Loading…
