Two Six Technologies’ Post

Yesterday, we celebrated the launch of the Connex Leadership Networks' 2024 event series with a compelling roundtable titled "The Chairs’ Challenge: A Transformative Drive or Mere Window Dressing?" This roundtable prompted us to tackle critical questions, such as the reasons behind the limited engagement of fewer than 70 organisations with the NHF Chairs' Challenge, the unaddressed issues and beliefs within our sector impacting EDI initiatives, and strategies to navigate the implications of political rhetoric on EDI transformation amidst an impending election. The roundtable discussions underscored a unanimous recognition among attendees: the imperative for boards to transcend tokenistic approaches to diversity, equality, and inclusion (EDI), advocating instead for the development of authentic, actionable strategies that deeply embody these values. The integration of EDI principles into succession planning was highlighted as critical, emphasising the need to ensure a diverse range of voices and perspectives at the board level. Furthermore, the essential role of comprehensive training for board members was discussed to equip them with the skills necessary to effectively tackle EDI challenges. We extend our heartfelt thanks to our panellists Jenny Brown, Victor da Cunha, David Hunter MRICS, CIHCM, and chair Karl George for their contributions and insights into this important discussion. At Connex Leadership Networks, we are committed to fostering a conducive environment for leaders to engage in meaningful, challenging discussions on pressing issues affecting leadership and organisational effectiveness today.

“Don’t take this the wrong way… but is DCX going to make it?”.     That was the question our VP Talent Acquisition Braeden Rogers, SPHR, PHR asked me in early 2021.     And it was a fair question. He’s an expert in high-volume talent acquisition, and at that point the business only had 15 employees and a handful of clients.     I didn’t have a crystal ball. I didn’t have any concrete evidence for Braeden.     But I was confident — it was just a matter of time.     Why?     Three reasons.   The partners we were working with loved the service and, in particular, their DCX Team Members.   We had the right team, experts like Rory Young, Braeden Rogers, SPHR, PHR, and Lorna Pierce.   We had scalable processes. They just needed time.    Investing time early on in creating, testing, and refining processes can help give you — and those around you — confidence that you’re onto something.     I’m incredibly glad it was enough to convince Braeden to stick with us, and today he oversees a team of 25.      Read more about why I believe process is and remains critical to growing companies in my latest article: https://lnkd.in/g87aDfGj    #BusinessGrowth #StartupGrowth #ScalingUp #Leadership
