Create Long-Term Impact: Experiential Development for Mid-Career Talent of Color

As the challenges that companies face continue to evolve, many organizations are clear-eyed about the reality that for the foreseeable future, the growth in complexity of these challenges will continue to stay one step ahead of the ability of AI to solve them.

While most experts know that AI and machine learning will not be a “magic cure-all,” business leaders continue to recognize that the human element will continue to be the most important ingredient for companies that need to navigate an ever-changing business landscape. But if the challenges are constantly evolving, how will the workforce evolve to fill in the gap left by the shortcomings of AI? It’s clear that building a pipeline of future leaders that bring the diverse perspectives and lived experience of underrepresented communities is the key for future success. Many companies have already figured this out, and as a result are quickly leaving behind many of their competitors who are afraid to make strategic investments in a diverse workforce that are necessary to solve the complex issues of tomorrow. Executives at these organizations typically face shifting support for diversity, equity, and inclusion spending as well as investing in company culture and intersectional talent. What these companies need is a roadmap to identify and train Black and Hispanic middle management to advance and help solve these challenges.

Hear from MLT’s Executive Programs Lead, Patricia Hayling Price, HR and learning and development leaders, and alumni of MLT’s Career Advancement Program (CAP). We will discuss how companies are highlighting opportunity areas for mid-career Black, Hispanic, and Native American employees. MLT has worked with thousands of professionals of color and over 200 companies in the past 20 years to advance racial equity in organizations, and we take a data-driven and results-oriented approach to leadership development that orients the future success of organizations around the need to establish and accelerate a diverse pipeline of talent that can help solve the problems of today and tomorrow.
