5. Through self-assessment, identify underlying beliefs, areas of privilege and personal bias.

6. Articulate a compelling diversity and inclusion vision for your organization.

7. Understand what other tech companies are doing for D&I and learn from other leaders in the

sector who are already taking the necessary actions and seeing success.

8. Identify key strategies and tactics to open dialogue, reduce and overcome barriers, shift

perspectives and promote diversity and inclusion.

9. Identify one or more strategic actions you can take after the program to build a more diverse

and inclusive organization.
