-: Our clients partner with BCG to solve some
of the world's most complex and complicated problems.
And to do that with quality really requires a diversity
of experiences, a diversity of perspectives,
and we need to bring diverse case teams
to our clients in order to bring them solutions
that are high impact and lasting.
Voiceover: BCG's purpose is to unlock the potential
of those who advance the world.
We try to live this purpose
by focusing on five purpose principles,
which are interwoven into every aspect of diversity, equity,
and inclusion at the firm.
-: Everything we do starts with integrity, and for me
leading with integrity starts with listening.
That requires us to constantly reevaluate everything we do,
and when it's time to speak up,
we have to be candid with each other.
We have to confront difficult issues.
we have to acknowledge blind spots,
and we work together to address gaps in our approach.
-: I think part of the conquering of complexity means
establishing a clear picture of where we are
and where we want to go together.
It also means leadership accountability.
-: There's no way we could do the work that we do
without people, and people are the foundation
that makes BCG incredible.
If we don't have great people
and we don't put them into roles that they deserve,
we won't be able to have the impact
in the world that we want.
-: We have to be focused on impact in the DEI space.
It's easy to focus a lot on the activity in DEI,
but you have to measure and track your impact
and whether the work you're doing is making a difference.
-: I think all change starts with communication,
and the goal is, that if we can amplify more
of what's taking place, both internally and externally,
the larger impact we'll have in society.
-: I truly believe that a diverse workforce
is a stronger workforce,
and that you will have more capability to adapt
and evolve your own business with that diversity.
-: I think today we've done a good job,
but I want us to be great.
And I think there's so much work to be done to do that.
It's not just that we're meeting the bar
and expectations, but we're actually setting the bar.
