Logicalis, Cisco and Microsoft discuss the impact of diversity and inclusion on business success
As employees leave their organisations in droves in pursuit of a more meaningful existence and the war for talent heats up, leaders must reflect on their current strategies and structures, which may no longer be fit for purpose. Organisations need to transform their vision and leadership strategies to address the talent crisis while enabling an inclusive future for all.
Research from Gartner has shown that in a diverse workforce performance improves by 12% and intent to stay by 20%. With nearly 8 out of 10 executives reporting that diversity is increasingly important in helping them achieve business goals, it’s clear that there is a desire to create more diverse and inclusive workplaces. However, for many organisations, despite long-term investment and commitment to the concept of diversity, not much progress has been made. As a result, businesses are missing out on the benefits that diversity can bring to the table, acting as a key differentiator in transformation and business success.
Celebrating International Women’s Day 2022, Logicalis Group CEO Bob Bailkoski sat down with Head of Responsible Business at Logicalis, Charissa Jaganath, Chief Inclusion and Collaboration Officer and Senior VP of Inclusive Future and Strategy at Cisco, Shari Slate, and VP of Solution Strategy and Go-To-Market at Microsoft, Julie Sanford, to discuss the impact and what we can learn by taking creating diverse and inclusive working environment.
Panellists shared their views on how what businesses can do to take meaningful steps towards creating a more diverse and inclusive workplace.
- Get buy-in and active involvement from senior leaders
Senior leaders, especially those at C-Suite level, need to create clear accountability and direction in their businesses when it comes to diversity and inclusion. By being transparent about creating a more diverse culture, encouraging two-way communication across all levels of the business and critically tying a diverse approach to business success, businesses will quickly start to see the benefits of diversity in business success.
Charissa Jaganath, Head of Responsible Business at Logicalis, commented, “I think having board members and senior leaders that truly understand the importance of this work, and get behind it, is imperative for achieving success.”
- Shared company values are critical
Leaders need to live and breathe shared organisational values to really embed organisational culture. It is no longer enough to just talk about them, leaders need to be brave and call out when values are not being lived up to. The most successful companies are captained by leaders who go out of their way to communicate their own cultural identities, beliefs and values which fully align to shared company values. Being able to inspire, empower and instil these in others is the key to success.
Shari Slate, Chief Inclusion and Collaboration Officer and Senior VP of Inclusive Future and Strategy at Cisco, said, “We’ve got to make sure that we use and leverage inspiration as currency to partner with our employees, customers, partners and suppliers to work together to solve challenges that have been long standing in the world. Ultimately, your beliefs as a company matter, and give you the ability to show up in any moment, at any time for your entire stakeholder stack.”
- Everyone can be a catalyst for change
Empowering employees by helping them realise they can be a catalyst for positive change is key to adopting a successful diversity and inclusion approach. By empowering them to live shared values, take care of each other and their environment, inclusion and collaboration quickly become a foundation for how an organisation operates. It can also stimulate a grass-roots approach when they see the direct positive impact they have on the world.
Julie Sanford, VP of Solutions Strategy and Go-To-Market at Microsoft, noted, “I don’t have to wait for a funded, large initiative from the company to make a difference. I can lean in now and actually start being a catalyst for change. It’s all about feeling empowered to go and lead with your authentic voice and being open to change. If you’re a senior leader in your business, being able to be authentic, share stories and lean in, even if it’s a daunting topic, people will want to share, talk and learn.”
Ultimately diversity and inclusion truly matter for business who want to succeed. Offering a key differentiator in transformation it has wide reaching effects from creating a more positive, collaborative culture to bringing about business success and even competitive advantage by creating new connections. To learn more from two titans in the technology industry, Cisco and Microsoft, and peek beneath the curtain on their mature diversity and inclusion programmes and the resulting success they experienced, watch the full webinar now. There is so much potential to be unlocked in taking a more diverse approach to business and we all look forward to contributing to a more diverse and inclusive future.

To be able to extract the best value from employees and technology, remote working strategies need to be carefully considered and designed.

Whilst the temporary measures did well to sustain businesses, they lack the flexible, adaptable infrastructure required to sustain hybrid working practices.

Low-code – power to the people
This week I read a great article from Jenna Sargent (here) on how low-code tools can be used to eliminate Shadow IT. The point was simple, if the IT department doesn’t provide individuals with the right tools they need, then traditionally we would have seen users searching for the right tool for themselves and using unsanctioned apps. This situation can lead to security, data leak, etc risks. The new model emerging is to facilitate users with low-code tools and say that if the current set of apps doesn’t give you the workflow that best fits your role, create your own.

Strong customer relationships have become a critical business priority according to the results of the first report in a four-part series following the eighth annual Logicalis Global CIO Survey. The pandemic has emphasised the importance of digital transformation, particularly creating online experiences for customers as sophisticated as in-person.

Understanding Full Stack Observability
What is it and how do we get started? Whilst Observability is a current buzzword, I was reminded of Control Theory lectures many years ago. At that stage it referred to knowing the internal state of a system from observing the outcome. It relied on the systems being linear and deterministic. But our connected world is anything but linear or deterministic. It is hugely interconnected in complex meshes, processes like those involved in online purchasing, run independently but are interdependent, and AI will result in non-deterministic outcomes. My old understanding of the term does not work in this new world.

We find ourselves in unprecedented times. As the Covid pandemic begins to wind down, we are seeing manufacturing, logistics and supply chain issues manifesting themselves across all aspects of our lives. In the IT industry shortages of integrated circuits (silicon chips) are resulting in some very long product lead times, which in turn are impacting our customers abilities to deliver - digitisation projects that are being accelerated in part due to Covid.

Sorry Dolly, working 9 to 5 isn’t a thing any more
One thing we’ve all learnt from the pandemic is that working 9 to 5 in an office isn’t how it has to be. We can be equally productive working from home with flexibility in our hours and a much better work/life balance. One thing that I certainly missed though are those little off-topic chats with people, where ideas are sparked, that air of creativity is hard to reproduce when your day consists of back-to-back video calls.

Can businesses exist if they’re not in the cloud?
Business leaders everywhere are realising ‘I won’t exist if I am not in the cloud’. Survival and business continuity relies on two critical features: Firstly, competitiveness. How productive is your workforce? Are you utilising data to better serve customers and win new business? Are your operations as cost optimised as they can be? The second component is resilience. Without resilience any business will fail. Does your business have the agility to respond to market pressures? Are you protected against ransomware and other growing threats? Is your business confident in these areas? If not, that’s a challenging place to be, and you run the risk of falling behind.

Data Management in the Modern World
Data Management has always been a challenge for organisations and with the changing landscape of how businesses run their IT, this has never been more accurate. For years, many organisations have had a siloed approach to data management. And by that I mean data is put into buckets - whether that be on premises on traditional architecture or in a private cloud - through to branch offices with their own silos of data. Add into this the advent of public cloud and the utilisation of multiple public clouds, companies have found themselves with pockets of data spread across the whole organisation. As a result, many companies have approached data management in a similar way - with the approach being siloed, rather than an overarching data management strategy.
