The Corporate Citizen: Issue 35
Crises drive innovation. Of course, every disruption is different, but innovations are the resilient responses of people and organizations, such as the businesses in which we work, that help us adapt to new conditions. Global challenges— such as the COVID-19 pandemic we are in currently—highlight the need to apply new solutions to new problems. Of course, those new solutions can change fundamentally our understanding of old problems, too.
This has certainly been the case with the COVID-19 pandemic, which has brought into stark focus the inequality in many institutions. Combined with the demonstrations for racial equality this past year, we have reached a moment of intensified reflection and discussion about social justice. As a result of these there is a renewed push among companies to improve the practice of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI).
