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.
As a follow-up to the Freedom to Flourish keynote, this interactive panel brings together several bold transformation pioneers to explore what it takes for HR to lead systemic change. The session will challenge the conventions of organisational design, performance, and leadership, offering a practical and provocative conversation about what “good” looks like when HR steps into its full moral and strategic potential.
