00:00:00.040 --> 00:00:03.442
Getting the best of each person that's in
the room,

57b5b8f0-b051-4d7d-9c49-4c63c5122417-1
00:00:03.442 --> 00:00:08.612
at the table—all the best ideas that can
contribute to the solutions that will

57b5b8f0-b051-4d7d-9c49-4c63c5122417-2
00:00:08.612 --> 00:00:13.520
help us move forward—is so central to how
we respond to an evolving world.

d0ed8173-bc3d-4d14-b9bf-353f79ca4765-0
00:00:13.840 --> 00:00:15.600
Kedra, thank you so much for joining us.

a23dd8a0-fe01-4acb-afe3-cea8b6a1e3ae-0
00:00:15.920 --> 00:00:19.120
What is the role of inclusion in driving
impact and growth?

9c4f8286-4d60-4e0f-a66f-63048595daa1-0
00:00:19.120 --> 00:00:23.663
When we think about inclusion,
all of our work at BCG on this topic has

9c4f8286-4d60-4e0f-a66f-63048595daa1-1
00:00:23.663 --> 00:00:26.440
really been grounded in data and
analytics.

1ac9de6a-7e4e-47bb-8208-101eb3d18b72-0
00:00:26.920 --> 00:00:31.821
And when you look at the underlying
factors that drive economic growth or

1ac9de6a-7e4e-47bb-8208-101eb3d18b72-1
00:00:31.821 --> 00:00:35.200
business growth,
demographics are really critical.

f299b9fe-4bef-4f9e-b04d-219d9f8e2aca-0
00:00:35.720 --> 00:00:39.584
We have more women graduating from
college and higher education, you know,

f299b9fe-4bef-4f9e-b04d-219d9f8e2aca-1
00:00:39.584 --> 00:00:41.440
around the world than we had before.

03e2f81e-8736-4993-9b55-5cdd5db5dc89-0
00:00:41.440 --> 00:00:46.440
Women will hold over 50% of wealth in the
coming years.

5fa71057-f1c7-47e2-af74-9b35dccc5947-0
00:00:46.680 --> 00:00:51.451
We had a team recently publish a paper on
$100 billion revenue opportunity in

5fa71057-f1c7-47e2-af74-9b35dccc5947-1
00:00:51.451 --> 00:00:56.040
women's health for conditions that are
underdiagnosed and underprescribed.

d6e78639-df44-457d-a0d4-04333551a106-0
00:00:56.040 --> 00:01:00.436
And so, when we think about inclusion,
it's an underlying point that we really

d6e78639-df44-457d-a0d4-04333551a106-1
00:01:00.436 --> 00:01:01.160
can't ignore.

707607e5-9329-495c-95ca-8a03d5c94550-0
00:01:01.240 --> 00:01:04.985
Over the last several years,
there's been a real focus on moving

707607e5-9329-495c-95ca-8a03d5c94550-1
00:01:04.985 --> 00:01:08.040
people from unbanked to underbanked to
fully banked.

8e4f2371-a7e4-4fa9-8afe-648f696ae678-0
00:01:08.320 --> 00:01:10.120
And we see a lot of progress in that
space.

8bb111e4-37a0-4a2c-b371-f216d974b46b-0
00:01:10.120 --> 00:01:12.810
And that points to opportunity for
retailers,

8bb111e4-37a0-4a2c-b371-f216d974b46b-1
00:01:12.810 --> 00:01:17.432
that points to opportunity for banks,
for payers and providers to really think

8bb111e4-37a0-4a2c-b371-f216d974b46b-2
00:01:17.432 --> 00:01:20.240
about how to serve that population
differently.

6fba6ac9-eb1e-4537-a7a6-1ec9b8cbf973-0
00:01:20.320 --> 00:01:25.968
These are real tangible economic benefits
that we have to continue to center if

6fba6ac9-eb1e-4537-a7a6-1ec9b8cbf973-1
00:01:25.968 --> 00:01:30.840
we're really talking about growth over
time locally or in companies.

f6e5f74e-d926-463c-b61d-1b6264694fce-0
00:01:31.120 --> 00:01:33.080
Let's zero in on climate and development.

e4150d64-13e1-40a3-bfd1-38f0ec911e89-0
00:01:33.120 --> 00:01:36.600
Where do you see the strongest link
between inclusion and outcomes?

d135f1a2-06cd-4c84-952a-da56b0036088-0
00:01:37.640 --> 00:01:38.520
That's a great question.

4b9dec6f-c38f-49e7-9652-b7017a443a2a-0
00:01:38.520 --> 00:01:43.074
I think, on development, you know,
when we think again about economic growth,

4b9dec6f-c38f-49e7-9652-b7017a443a2a-1
00:01:43.074 --> 00:01:46.810
that is really about how do our local
economies grow over time.

4b9dec6f-c38f-49e7-9652-b7017a443a2a-2
00:01:46.810 --> 00:01:49.554
How do we have more women starting
businesses,

4b9dec6f-c38f-49e7-9652-b7017a443a2a-3
00:01:49.554 --> 00:01:54.050
more people in minority groups and
different geographies really contributing

4b9dec6f-c38f-49e7-9652-b7017a443a2a-4
00:01:54.050 --> 00:01:55.160
to economic growth.

3e364d9c-0952-4992-ba5b-1566b9c05828-0
00:01:55.200 --> 00:01:57.240
It's really critical from a development
perspective.

ea2599c3-12ea-4e01-adfb-b3bce4abbb85-0
00:01:57.240 --> 00:02:02.131
When we think about global development,
and we think about the innovation that's

ea2599c3-12ea-4e01-adfb-b3bce4abbb85-1
00:02:02.131 --> 00:02:05.995
required to solve broader challenges that
we have in the world,

ea2599c3-12ea-4e01-adfb-b3bce4abbb85-2
00:02:05.995 --> 00:02:08.833
such as climate and clean energy, that,
again,

ea2599c3-12ea-4e01-adfb-b3bce4abbb85-3
00:02:08.833 --> 00:02:13.422
is really about how do we harness the
collective brain power of individuals

ea2599c3-12ea-4e01-adfb-b3bce4abbb85-4
00:02:13.422 --> 00:02:17.588
coming out of universities,
seeing the very specific challenges they

ea2599c3-12ea-4e01-adfb-b3bce4abbb85-5
00:02:17.588 --> 00:02:21.453
have in their communities,
and finding innovative ways to solve

ea2599c3-12ea-4e01-adfb-b3bce4abbb85-6
00:02:21.453 --> 00:02:22.480
those challenges.

550e4937-c25e-4a79-bd53-f92c92e41fdc-0
00:02:22.480 --> 00:02:25.440
Inclusion is a really critical part of
that journey.

451713e5-f9de-4a1b-9bda-a26f1c87ac01-0
00:02:25.640 --> 00:02:26.480
Thank you so much.
