Diversity can be a great force for organizations. Academic research and corporate business reports are replete with studies that associate diversity with greater innovation, superior decision-making, better business strategies, and improved financial performances. Once viewed as tangential to the principal tenets of business operations, diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts are now publicly acclaimed as organizational priorities, as companies increasingly recognize that a diverse workforce can help them to facilitate a competitive advantage in their respective industries. However, despite the public declarations, social inequity persists across countless organizations and corporations. What is the disconnect?
The Virtual Leadership, Diversity, and Race program critically examines the issues facing organizations who aspire to capitalize on the synergies of a diverse workforce, and how barriers such as implicit bias and systemic racism can sometimes prevent this from occurring. In our supportive virtual classroom environment, you'll gain an in-depth understanding of how focusing on diversity, equity, and inclusion can enhance your organization and team goals, and also gain insight into tools that can help dismantle any barriers that may prohibit your organization’s ability to do so. We will explore the latest research, discuss best practices, and reflect on how you can make a significant impact when navigating and leveraging diversity, equity, and inclusion in your organization.
Business leaders at middle to senior organizational levels, HR management, and those initiating or expanding Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion efforts within an organization will benefit from Virtual Leadership, Diversity and Race. This program will assist managers who deal with team members, co-workers, or direct reports different from them racially and who want to create a more inclusive and equitable work environment. Others who observe barriers to career growth created by systemic racism in their own company but do not have direct responsibility for, or control of, these practices will gain tools to use in influencing a change in their firm.

The biotechnology and pharmaceutical industry is complex, not just because of the science, but also because of changing reimbursement practices and regulatory policies. If your organization engages with drug discovery or development at any stage of commercialization, you need to be aware of and understand changes to reimbursement or regulation and their implications for your firm.
Given the industry’s complexity and interdependencies, familiarity with only part of the biotech and pharma industry is not enough for success. Managers involved with drug discovery need to understand what comes after drug development, including whether payers will cover the product and whether providers will adopt the product. Drug makers, payers, providers, regulators, investors, and consultants in this space will find that gaining perspective on interlinkages across the industry enables you to add more value to your stakeholders, and ultimately to your bottom line, through your strategic plans, your drug development operations, your new opportunity identification, etc.
This live, online program offers a broad perspective of the issues surrounding the identification and introduction of new drugs, which will be useful to:
