Diversity – What It Really Means at Sony

Controversy around diversity are evolving particularly in the U.S. today. For nearly 80 years, Sony has embraced a management philosophy that values each one of unique individuals, which, we believe, “diversity” itself. In this session, I would like to share Sony’s journey and its vision of the true meaning and value of diversity in individuals as well as in business for the future.

• What does it mean to manage by empowering individuals?
• How does embracing individuals drive diversity, value creation, and innovation?
• How does this apply to the diversity in business?
• What defines an “individual”?
• In an increasingly uncertain business environment, what is the true value of a management philosophy that supports, respects and embraces diversity and empowers individuals in both individuals and business?
