We find that men and women see risk and opportunity in different ways, and that they act differently as a result. Recognise, celebrate and seize upon these differences, and companies stand a better chance of seeing the world as it really is and as it could become. Fail to create diverse teams, and companies become susceptible to ‘groupthink’ – the phenomenon where by engaging only with those who share a similar view of the world, we muffle other perspectives and do not see change coming. of today’s companies are still run by male-only teams and they are in danger of myopia when it comes to risk.’’ Lagerberg Global leader for tax services and sponsor of women in leadership GrantThornton US

…reducing business risk but the qualities that a diverse team brings are nuanced
“I’ve witnessed a growing number of men embracing a more collaborative approach. The traditional paradigm of what a male leader looks like is shifting, along with the definition of what it means to be a man.’’
A DIVERSE TEAM BUILDS THE SMARTEST PLANS BY… 18
Women: • are described as risk aware, diligent, detaildriven • tend to operate more in the grey than their male counterparts • do extra preparation for a decision, including asking for others’ input, whereas men often just rely on themselves to figure it out • require more analysis compared to their male counterparts because they have a greater need for a balanced and complete view before taking action
Teams are 158% more likely to understand their market when team members represent the end user (CTI). 57% of companies found that diversity and inclusion programs strongly impact customer satisfaction, and 69% found they improved brand image (European Commission).

3. Check for the Case for Change: Case for change.“Is this advancing us forward? Does this get us excited? Are we a little nervous?”
4. Plan for Barriers: What might get in our way? What contingency plans do you need to develop?
5. Build your Plan: Assign SMART objectives to specific units/managers in the org structure (Division/Unit). Start with you Q1 OKRs for each Division/Unit (roadmap). Work your plans.
STEPS TO BUILDING A PLAN
20
1. Evaluate your current state (CS): SWOT, Porter’s-5, Review last year TvA.
2. Build your future state (FS): Review the 5-Year Strategic Plan. Develop FS statements. Organize into 5-7 SMART objectives.
DEEP DIVE INTO STEP 2 Future State Description:12 months from now, we will… • Increase engagement with the customers • Setup an office in a new another city • Have built the largest investment portfolio in NewYork • Begin exiting investment to drive sustainability • Be on track to being the fastest growing investment firm on the East Coast Annual SMART Objectives: • Grow the network to more than 500 members • Increase engagement by rolling out a new program for members and companies • Secure a partners in Chicago • Close 8 investments • Exit 2 investment 21 Description SMART Objectives (Goals)
• Give time to write it well and put it in your own words.
• Don’t let perfect be the enemy of great.

The CEO and management have to own the AMP.This means you should build it with your team. • If management doesn’t take it seriously, your team will not take it (or you) seriously.
• It must be used! (next section). Print it and put it on your desk. Read it every morning until you memorize it.
• Get that gender-balanced perspective (you’ll thank me!)
AMP TIPS
• It needs to get the company (and you) excited for action – out of bed at 5am.
