00:00:00.151 --> 00:00:02.070
(soft piano music)
2
00:00:02.070 --> 00:00:04.260
Our clients partner with BCG to solve some
3
00:00:04.260 --> 00:00:07.650
of the world's most complex and complicated problems.
4
00:00:07.650 --> 00:00:10.950
And to do that with quality really requires a diversity
5
00:00:10.950 --> 00:00:14.940
of experiences, a diversity of perspectives,
6
00:00:14.940 --> 00:00:16.800
and we need to bring diverse case teams
7
00:00:16.800 --> 00:00:19.110
to our clients in order to bring them solutions
8
00:00:19.110 --> 00:00:21.480
that are high impact and lasting.
9
00:00:21.480 --> 00:00:24.090
BCG's purpose is to unlock the potential
10
00:00:24.090 --> 00:00:25.950
of those who advance the world.
11
00:00:25.950 --> 00:00:27.570
We try to live this purpose
12
00:00:27.570 --> 00:00:30.030
by focusing on five purpose principles,
13
00:00:30.030 --> 00:00:34.200
which are interwoven into every aspect of diversity, equity,
14
00:00:34.200 --> 00:00:36.270
and inclusion at the firm.
15
00:00:36.270 --> 00:00:39.000
Everything we do starts with integrity, and for me
16
00:00:39.000 --> 00:00:41.220
leading with integrity starts with listening.
17
00:00:41.220 --> 00:00:45.120
That requires us to constantly reevaluate everything we do,
18
00:00:45.120 --> 00:00:46.285
and when it's time to speak up,
19
00:00:46.285 --> 00:00:48.210
we have to be candid with each other.
20
00:00:48.210 --> 00:00:50.280
We have to confront difficult issues.
21
00:00:50.280 --> 00:00:52.140
we have to acknowledge blind spots,
22
00:00:52.140 --> 00:00:54.690
and we work together to address gaps in our approach.
23
00:00:54.690 --> 00:00:57.570
I think part of the conquering of complexity means
24
00:00:57.570 --> 00:00:59.490
establishing a clear picture of where we are
25
00:00:59.490 --> 00:01:01.560
and where we want to go together.
26
00:01:01.560 --> 00:01:04.050
It also means leadership accountability.
27
00:01:04.050 --> 00:01:05.880
There's no way we could do the work that we do
28
00:01:05.880 --> 00:01:08.490
without people, and people are the foundation
29
00:01:08.490 --> 00:01:11.430
that makes BCG incredible.
30
00:01:11.430 --> 00:01:12.510
If we don't have great people
31
00:01:12.510 --> 00:01:15.930
and we don't put them into roles that they deserve,
32
00:01:15.930 --> 00:01:17.400
we won't be able to have the impact
33
00:01:17.400 --> 00:01:19.740
in the world that we want.
34
00:01:19.740 --> 00:01:22.470
We have to be focused on impact in the DEI space.
35
00:01:22.470 --> 00:01:25.800
It's easy to focus a lot on the activity in DEI,
36
00:01:25.800 --> 00:01:28.140
but you have to measure and track your impact
37
00:01:28.140 --> 00:01:30.570
and whether the work you're doing is making a difference.
38
00:01:30.570 --> 00:01:33.240
I think all change starts with communication,
39
00:01:33.240 --> 00:01:36.030
and the goal is, that if we can amplify more
40
00:01:36.030 --> 00:01:40.170
of what's taking place, both internally and externally,
41
00:01:40.170 --> 00:01:42.900
the larger impact we'll have in society.
42
00:01:42.900 --> 00:01:45.240
I truly believe that a diverse workforce
43
00:01:45.240 --> 00:01:46.530
is a stronger workforce,
44
00:01:46.530 --> 00:01:49.350
and that you will have more capability to adapt
45
00:01:49.350 --> 00:01:52.260
and evolve your own business with that diversity.
46
00:01:52.260 --> 00:01:54.660
I think today we've done a good job,
47
00:01:54.660 --> 00:01:56.670
but I want us to be great.
48
00:01:56.670 --> 00:02:00.240
And I think there's so much work to be done to do that.
49
00:02:00.240 --> 00:02:02.070
It's not just that we're meeting the bar
50
00:02:02.070 --> 00:02:04.920
and expectations, but we're actually setting the bar.
51
00:02:06.631 --> 00:02:10.048
