A Message from Joel Barker

Wealth, Innovation & Diversity: Putting Our Differences to Work in the 21st Century is the result of more than eight years of research, almost a year of filming across the world, and the creative collaboration of a great team.

I gave my first speech on Wealth, Innovation & Diversity in 1996 to 250 leaders from around the world in Istanbul, Turkey. I had been invited to address this group by its chairman, Tor Dahl. He gave me a simple request: “You may speak about anything you wish,” he said, “but remember that whatever you say, your audience will act on it, and your ideas will be carried around the world.”

The presentation was very well received. And that is when I realized I had to turn the idea into a film. In early 1998, I received a phone call from Paul Hopkins, a film maker from Seattle. After talking to him, I invited him to my home in Florida to have an extended conversation. I liked his film work, I liked his attitude, I liked his intelligence and I liked his integrity. You can see all of that in this program. He showed me a whole new quality in film making. This film is, I hope, the beginning of a long and fruitful relation-ship. He was a delight to work with. Thank you, Paul.

I began writing the script and when I had a pretty solid first draft, I called Debbe Kennedy, a long time colleague, who had created the outstanding discussion guide for my film, The Power of Vision. I asked her if she would author the discussion guide for this effort. Debbe laughed when I told her what I was working on. She laughed because she was in the midst of writing her own book series on diversity entitled Diversity Breakthrough!® This series is a wonderful, in-depth examination of diversity and is filled with excellent, specific activities for developing the leverage of diversity. I invite you to examine her books and tools on her website at www.diversitybreakthrough.com for ideas and activities that extend far beyond this guide.

It was a perfect fit so she signed on to help. The result of her work is the most effective discussion guide I have ever had for any of my films. You can see her deep knowledge of the subject, her honor of its importance and her profound craft of getting people to explore important issues in thoughtful and meaningful ways. Thank you, Debbe.

I have just one more person to thank: you who are about to utilize this creative package. I believe the message of this film—that wealth is created by innovation and innovation is the result of ongoing diversity—is a key-stone message for the 21st Century.

This message gives us a pathway to make the world better for everyone without having to do harm to others along the way. This message is not based on just “good feelings” or ambitious hopes. It is based on data and research and results from across many disciplines.

But it will take leaders to implement it. And by using this video package, you put yourself in a leadership position whether you like it or not. Remember, “a leader is someone you choose to follow to a place you would not go by yourself.” This place in the 21st Century is rich with much more than money. It is rich is variety; it is rich in possibility; it is rich in opportunity; it is rich in fairness; it is rich in heart. But it is a challenging climb that will require much effort. We all must do our best to get there.

Thank you for your courage and your willingness to reach. I look forward to seeing you up the pathway, around the turn, where “a thousand different flowers bloom.”

I bid all of you a peaceful and prosperous future,

Wealth, In n ovation & Diversity takes you on a journey around the world to understand a fundamentaltruth: Without diversity, there can be no innovation. Without innovation, there can be no newwealth. Therefore, diversity is the key to creating wealth for all.

Hosted by best-selling author and futurist, Joel Barker, Wealth, Innovation & Diversity contends thatyour organization will experience long-lasting success only when you reap the benefits of diversityby collaborating with individuals and enterprises that are different than yourself. Lessons are taughtagainst such backdrops as Machu Picchu’s ruins, a farm in Ireland, skyscrapers in Singapore and theforests, mountains and plains of America. Drawing from history, science and the innovations oforganizations and nations, Ba rker introduces a new premise for thinking and understanding dive r s i t yand a compelling need for change, offering a new vision for the 21st Century. He also explores theadvantages of diversity and its role in our lives and world, bringing his powerful messages to a con-clusion with a call-to-action for every organization and individual.

Diversity is the key that opens the door tothe new wealth of the 21st Century.

SAMPLE LEAD IN REMARKS—supplement with your own perspective:

As we move into the 21st Century, it is clear that our organizationneeds to focus on being a more diverse and inclusive place than weare today. Our customers and the marketplaces and communities weserve are demanding that we understand and relate to theirissues—and bring new innovations to them to solve the problemsthey are facing. We cannot respond without really understanding theadvantages that diversity brings and its important role in our future.

To help us broaden our knowledge and understanding, we aregoing to travel around the world in a video learning experience with Futurist, Joel Barker to learn about the connection ofWEALTH—INNOVATION—and DIVERSITY. There are three mainthemes in the video. Use the Introduction overhead slide.

Take a minute to quickly review your Viewing Journal. As you watchthe video look for these key points. Jot down your thoughts. We willhave some time following the video for discussion, so we can alllearn from each other’s perspectives.

Refer to the Viewing Journal handout.

Lights out; start video.

Although you have previewed the video already, watch the video withyour audience again. You’ll see things you’ve missed and you will bereminded of points you want to emphasize. More importantly, if youdemonstrate your interest, it sends a powerful message to others aboutthe importance you place on the learning experience. Be a role modelfor others!

When the Wealth, Innovation & Diversity video is over, be still for a fewseconds. Take your time to turn the lights on. Give the viewers a chanceto make the transition. Then give the audience a few minutes to reviewtheir Viewing Journal to add any points they might want to capturebefore discussion. The Viewing Journal will prompt their thinking.Within 3–5 minutes, most will be ready to proceed with the discussion.When the majority is ready—go!

If you have a larger group [50+], you may want to break the audienceinto discussion groups for some preliminary discussion time. This willtake more time, but will help everyone get involved in some way andwill ignite energy in the room. Follow with report back on the keythemes aligned with the time you have available.

Use the Video Script Outline for the Facilitator, beginning on page 55, as a guide to facilitate the discussion. You may not be able to coverevery topic in this content-rich video. Instead, align the discussion to the interests of your viewers by focusing on three questioning themes:

• What did you see that was most important to you?• What messages or lessons stood out?• What key messages have implications for our organization?

CLOSING

Pass out closing handouts:

• Joel Barker’s Key Messages• Wealth, Innovation & Diversity Anthem• Wealth, Innovation & Diversity Memento Card• Wealth, Innovation & Diversity Session Reflections

Remember,the only goal is that each person gained something valuable. What isvalued may differ. You will also get input for follow-on work.

The Wealth, Innovation & Diversity video has an impactful finale. Refer to your Video Script Outline for the Facilitator (pages 62–63) forJoel Barker’s closing messages that will give you a framework to closeyour discussion with an inspiring tone:

Not the stuff on which tobuild a long term future.”

GROUP DEBRIEF (5–7 minutes):

• Invite the participants to summarize the key messages they heard.

• Don’t use this as a time for debating the issues around samenessand differences. The GROUP WORK that follows will give the group an opportunity to share their perspectives.

If you are adhering to the 1-hour timetable, the group work would be approximately 10 minutes. If you have more time, you can allowpeople more time to contemplate their points of view. Input will be rich either way.

As people finish and post their points of view, let those who finish early read the perspectives. It won’t hurt the process and it will keep the group together while others finish.

Use the Points of View—Part 2 Group Work overhead slide to set-up Part 2 of the exercise. Assign a topic area to each group.

Point them to page 26 in their workbook for the process.

Based on the time you have to spend, tell the participants how much time they have to complete the assignment. Also, give them an idea of the time they have to present. If you are sticking with the 1-hourtimetable, this would give the groups approximately 12–15 minutes to group the themes. If you have more time, you can allow people more time to work together.

As they get started, give each group the Points of View overhead slide for their assigned topic and overhead slide pens.

Be flexible. Using the slides are not essential; just an aid for those that need it. Allow the groups the freedom in the time allotted to get the job done collaboratively.

When the Wealth, Innovation & Diversity video is over, be still a fewseconds. Take your time to turn the lights on. Give the viewers a chance to make the transition. Then give the audience a few minutes to review their Viewing Journal, page 31 to add any points they mightwant to capture before discussion. The Viewing Journal will prompttheir thinking. Within 1–2 minutes, most will be ready to proceed with the discussion. When the majority is ready—go!

• Have participants (briefly this time) summarize the key messages they heard; quick and lively facilitation.

• Again, don’t use this as a time for debating the issues.• The GROUP WORK that follows will give the group an opportunity

to share their perspectives.

• Have the group turn to the Making Our Own Connection activity,page 34. Summarize the process using the workbook this time for a change of pace.

• This time the groups will guide themselves through the process; allocating time and resources to the creative, mutualistic task.

• The instructions in the workbook will guide them; encourage them to review the instructions, use the worksheets and achieve theend results their own way, using the strength of their differences.

• Put out creative materials for their presentations, if you chose toinclude them. (OPTIONAL)

If you are adhering to the 1-hour timetable, the group work would be approximately 20–25 minutes. If you have more time, you can allow people more time to enjoy this mutualistic work experience.

presentation in their workbook, page 37.• Make sure you have someone assigned to take notes. • Let the work groups volunteer to present. • Enjoy the innovations that emerge! If you pay attention, you will

see symbolically the creative talent that resides within your group to be fast, flexible, forward-thinking and fired-up in just a fewminutes. Imagine if this could be multiplied and used to bring new organizational breakthroughs to your unique marketplace orcommunity.

Closing: 3-STEP Viewing—MAKING A CONNECTION

1-Hour Session or Workshop

Pass out closing handouts:Wealth, Innovation & Diversity AnthemWealth, Innovation & Diversity Memento CardWealth, Innovation & Diversity Session Reflections

Briefly introduce each handout you selected to give to your participants. The Session Reflections handout will provide you with meaningful “feedback” on each individual’s experience of the workshop.Ask everyone to take a few minutes to reflect upon what they havegained from working together and learning together in the Wealth,Innovation & Diversity Workshop. Remember, the goal is that each person gains something valuable. What is valued may differ. Thistechnique of getting “feedback” on the experience, and input for follow-on work, is highly effective.

The Wealth, Innovation & Diversity video has an impactful finale. Refer to your Facilitator Video Script Outline, page 63, for Joel Barker’sclosing messages. They will give you a framework with which to closeyour session with a personal call-to-action—incorporate your own personal thoughts from the experience of the workshop.

• Reiterate Mr. Barker’s summation and relating it back to your organization’s future.

Thank everyone for participating and taking an important step forward. Promise to follow-up within a few days to share the feedback.

Have people leave their Session Reflections sheets as the leave.

Congratulations!

Refer to the Follow-On section, beginning on page 71 of this guide for ideas of what to DO next.

As the Facilitator

A successful learning

experience is a “system.”

All its parts work together

to make it impactful and

effective.

FOR BEST RESULTS, follow

the recommendations.

If you make changes,

consider the implications

on other parts of the system.

As the leader, you have the most important role of all in having a successful Wealth, Innovation &Diversity video workshop. Common to other forms of communication, how you open the session,facilitate it and bring it to a close, will have a significant impact on the outcome. Personalize theformat with your own style and remember, there is truth in the adage, it is all in how it is presented.

• View Wealth, Innovation & Diversity video twice:- Once for content.- Once to familiarize yourself with the “PAUSE POINTS” for 3-STEP Viewing.

• Review the VIDEO SCRIPT OUTLINE in this section; mark key points you want to emphasis.

• Review the Wealth, Innovation & Diversity Workbook; walk yourself through its organization,activities and flow; at best, try it out as if you were a participant. It is easier to lead people whereyou personally have been. The process will contribute significantly to your own effectiveness.

• Use you own thoughts, impressions and ideas on how key messages in the video relate to your organization to help you with:

- Your opening remarks.- Leading discussions and group work.- Bridging from viewing to group work.- Closing remarks.

• Review and print your overhead slides and handouts from the Wealth, Innovation & Diversity CD-ROM and gather the supplies you will need for the session. Order the workbooks and thetake-away memento cards, refer to page 65–69 in this section.

• Make this Facilitator Guide a tool for your own success:- Write notes in it.- Highlight important sections.- Flag other points of reference that you may need to access in a hurry.- Add it to your tool kit for future reference.

Key Messages, Facts & Stories

Covered in the Segment:• A new premise for thinking and understanding diversity is presented.• A compelling need for change for the 21st Century is established.• A new vision for the future is introduced.

Viewing Time: 11 minutes

Ireland—The Potato Blight of 1845• The potato was brought back from the new world.• It was embraced as a cheap, plentiful food resource.• The mistake: Over two centuries they bred out all the differences.• They created a potato crop with essentially the same genetic makeup.• All potatoes, being equally vulnerable, were destroyed in the blight.• Result: A Great Famine caused 1.7 million to flee their country; one million starved.

KEY MESSAGES IN THE STORY:• The Irish chose to maximize the advantage of sameness.• They received short term benefits, but in the end, paid a terrible price.

Peru—On the Harsh Slopes of the Andes• The people here domesticated the potato staring nearly 2000 years ago.• The zenith was reached during the reign of the Inca (12th-16th Century).• The potato, like the Irish, was used as main calorie source.• Unlike the Irish, they cultivated over 100 varieties of potatoes. • They had potatoes that flourished under many conditions.

some in wet and some in dry timessome were resistant to one kind of pest; some to otherssome grew best in cloudy conditions; others intense sun

• Every year they planted new varieties.• The potato diversity guaranteed plenty to eat no matter what happened.

KEY MESSAGES IN THE STORY:• The Inca maximized the advantage of diversity.• Under very difficult conditions, they prospered for over 15 centuries.

KEY MESSAGES FOR THE 21ST CENTURY FROM THESE STORIES:• These two stories are symbolic of the great choice we have to make.• One leads us back to societies where sameness is rewarded; differences demonized.• One leads us toward societies where diversity is prized.• Sameness leads toward impoverishment, in every sense of the word.• Diversity leads upwards toward a new level and kind of wealth not seen before.• Diversity is directly connected to innovation and innovation to wealth.• The benefits of one come from enlisting the power of the others.

The Deep Fear of Differences Across the Centuries; Around the World• The Inca were destroyed by a European culture that believed there was only one

right way to do things.• Today, we still have many groups who believe in and continue this practice.• In so many words, they are saying, “If you aren’t just like me, go away!” Or worse.• It has been happening all over the world...

in Serbiain Japanin Afghanistanin Africain Germanyin the United States of America

• Regardless of outward appearances, these groups share a common characteristic:a deep fear of differences.

• We need to understand why these people are afraid of difference.

George Land, Scientist and Author of Grow or Die• All things grow and develop in the same three-stage pattern.• Once one stage is accomplished, the next stage can begin.

- 1ST STAGE: AccretionFocus is on the growth and development of the single individual;in humans this stage takes us from birth to adolescence; babiesseek food, love, security in order to flourish and grow.

- 2ND STAGE: ReplicationFocus is on creating or joining with other elements; self-similarity;bacteria split into two; Aspen trees send out new shoots; childrenbecome teenagers.

(NOTE: In STEP 2, the video returns to George Land’s work, 3RD STAGE)

MESSAGES FROM THIS STORY:

2ND STAGE ADVANTAGES: (high school setting with teenagers)1. A group can accomplish more than a single individual.2. Your personal is existence validated by others choosing to be like you.3. With everyone thinking alike, its easier to communicate and make decisions.4. With all the similarities, predictability within the group is increased.

2ND STAGE RISKS:1. A homogeneous crop is extremely vulnerable to a single threat; if one plant

if vulnerable, then all are vulnerable. (Eastern Washington Wheat Fields)

2. Innovation is nearly impossible, if everyone thinks the same. 3. Without new ideas, there can be no progress or improvement.4. Any system—biological, organizational, cultural—based on sameness leads

to stagnation; stagnation to collapse.

STEP 1 - SUMMARY MESSAGES:• A more enduring future must be built on differences not similarities.• A future based on diversity has the capacity to sustain us for centuries, even millennia.• Diversity brings with it opportunity for ongoing innovation.• Innovation provides increasing abundance for everyone.• Diversity can help your organization, community, and nation flourish long term.

“Societies and organizations that most creatively incorporatediversity will reap the rewards of innovation, growth, wealth and progress.”

—Joel Barker

Covered in this Segment:• The advantages of diversity are dramatically illustrated.• The important role of diversity in a complex world is demonstrated. • The concept of mutualism is introduced. (Stage 3, George Land’s work)• The concept of mutualism is experienced. (Stories: Pine Forest, Ford and Singapore)

Viewing Time: 14 minutes

University of Minnesota—Cedar Creek Long Term Eco Site• Dr. David Tilman, Director has run ecological experiments since 1982.• One area of his research is done in a series of 100 squares of land (2 meters by 2 meters).• Each plot has varying numbers of 24 different prairie species in different combinations.• The GOAL: To uncover the effects of bio-diversity.

KEY FINDINGS FROM THE 10 YEARS OF RESEARCH:Highly diverse ecosystems…• can deal better with large-scale shocks (i.e., drought, flood).• recover from damage faster than simple systems.• utilize resources better and waste less.• withstand attacks from predators and disease.• are healthier over the long run.• are more productive; yet higher payback from investment.• are much more stable.• are much more predictable, across a greater variation of change.

KEY MESSAGES FROM THIS STORY:“More and more, organizational theorists are looking at complex ecosystems to find lessons for enterprises of all kinds. What we are seeing is part of the new definition of wealth:

The wealth of sustainability.The wealth of efficient resource utilization.The wealth of lowered risks and increased predictability and improved productivity.

We need to listen to these lessons.”—Joel Barker

Belgium—Ilya Prigogine, Nobel Prize winner—ground-breaking work on complexity• With increasing complexity, comes increasing diversity.• All systems will grow more complex when one condition exists: excess energy to grow.

KEY QUESTIONS FROM THIS STORY:• If the world is going to be more complex tomorrow than it is today:

How do we cope with all this complexity?Where can we find solutions to the problems this complexity creates?How can we access the diverse opportunities that accompany complexity?

George Land, Scientist and Author of Grow or Die (3rd Stage of growth)(Video returns to George Land’s work to find the answers; adds 3RD STAGE)

• All things grow and develop in same three-stage pattern:- 1ST STAGE: Accretion—individual pulling resources together to sustain existence. - 2ND STAGE: Replication—multiple individuals join, high degree of similarity- 3RD STAGE: Mutualism—diverse individual elements join to create new

combinations; each element in the new combination mutually benefits.

KEY MESSAGES FROM THIS STORY:• Mutualism creates a condition where almost an infinite set of new combinations

can be generated using the differences available.• The diversity of mutualism gives us more choices to solve the problems caused by

our increasingly complex world.

Pine Forest—north of Vancouver, Canada—Mutualism at Work• Research led by Suzanne Simard, British Columbia Ministry of Forests.• Fungi and the trees have developed a mutualistic relationship.• Fungi is very good at librating certain nutrients from the soil that the trees need.• The trees are very good at making sugars that the fungi needs.• Neither is good at doing the other’s work.• They cooperate.• They collaborate.• They work mutualistically, using their differences to help one other.

KEY FINDINGS AND OTHER FACTS IN THIS RESEARCH:• The fungi has the power to borrow excess carbon from trees getting plenty of sunlight.• The fungi moves the carbon through its filaments to fir seedlings not getting enough sun.• The deciduous trees and the fir seedlings have no “family” connection.• The exchange mediated by the fungi guarantees the seedlings survival.• The exchange keeps the forest diverse and healthy over the long term.• There are no immediate benefits for the deciduous trees to give up excess carbon.• The fungi is the broker, making sure elements needed for growth go to those in need.• The whole forest benefits.

KEY MESSAGES IN THIS STORY:• Collaboration between very different species is necessary for everyone to do well.• No one species can survive, for long, all by themselves—that’s mutualism.

Designing the First Ford Taurus—Human Mutualism at Work• In the early 1980’s, Ford was struggling to compete with the Japanese.• They were losing billions of dollars each year.• They decided to build the best passenger car in the world for the money.• They knew, if they did it the old way, using only their designers, it would fail.• A mutualistic team of more than 100 people was assembled from all over the landscape.• They picked people from the assembly line, marketing and sales within Ford.• They invited mechanics from Ford dealerships• They invited housewives and travelling salesmen who drove Fords.• They invited people who didn’t like Fords and people who drove foreign cars.• This very diverse group got to help make sure the car would be right.• The designers were distraught—“too many cooks spoil the broth.”• By listening, they learned the power of mutuality is built on diversity.• One idea alone that emerged saved Ford millions of dollars—the shingle door.

KEY MESSAGES IN THIS STORY:• Diverse input resulted in a car that dominated the industry for 10 years.• Ford changed the very way it went about designing cars.

Singapore—Mutualism at Work for a Nation• Singapore gained its independence in 1965.• It has a diverse population mixture of Chinese, Malay, Anglo and Indian.• This cultural diversity had the potential for major cultural problems.• The newly-elected leader, Lee Kuan Yew, turned cultural diversity into a strength.• He made mutualism the bridge between cultures.• His vision for Singapore made mutli-racism, multi-cultualism and multi-religion

key components of the new Singapore society.• Everyone, regardless background, was invited to participate in building a new nation.• To train and prepare everyone, Singapore built a world class public education system.• As they all learned to collaborate with each other, building on the strength of their

diversity, they were also becoming adept at working across the cultures of the world.

FACTS ABOUT SINGAPORE’S RESULTS ACHIEVED AND THEIR NEW 21ST CENTURY VISION:• No race riots since its independence.• Emerged to be the most trusted nation in the world.• 2nd most competitive nation in the world• 5th wealthiest nation, per capita, in the world.• Recognized it will take more than cultural diversity to compete in the 21st Century.• Strong controls on the flow information into their country beginning to be rolled back.• Establishing an environment where freedom of expression, artistic diversity and intellectual

d i versity can flourish.

STEP 2 - SUMMARY MESSAGES:• Mutualism combines many diverse elements to create new ideas that benefit all the

participants.• Mutualism requires the ability to collaborate with individuals and enterprises different

from yourself—only then will you reap the benefits of diversity.• Without diversity, mutualism is impossible.• Mutualism converts diversity into wealth—the forest, Ford, Singapore

Covered in this Segment: • The connection between innovation and wealth is introduced.• Paradigm-shifting innovation is explored and demonstrated.• The connection is made between wealth-generating innovators and diversity.• The role of the outsiders in discovering new paradigms is presented.• A meeting of wealth, innovation and diversity at intersection of differences takes place.

Viewing Time: 7 minutes (includes the finale)

INTRODUCTION: The Connection of Innovation & Wealth• Diversity sets the stage for new ideas.• Mutualism manifests new ideas into new innovations.• Successful innovations add new value to the world.• New value creates new wealth.• As much as 40% increased wealth each year comes from innovation. (Economist)• Ongoing innovation enlarges the economic pie from which the whole world can dine.• Paradigm-shifting innovations add the most new value and the most to new wealth.

The Cellular Phone—A Paradigm-Shifting Innovation• The cellular phone did more than improve the old paradigm like touch tone dialing did.• It created a in paradigm by changing the basic rules:

No wires.Carry in your pocket.Minute by minute billing all the time.The phone number travels with the customer.

• The new telephone paradigm—clearly a revolution.• Opened up a whole new territory of communications with huge growth opportunities.• It is creating new wealth all over the world not in percentages: 10, 50, 1000 times.

KEY MESSAGE IN THIS STORY:• Paradigm-shifting innovators are the most powerful generators of wealth on earth.

The Outsiders—Their Important Role and Their Differences• The people most likely to discover a new paradigm are almost always outsiders.• The people that create all that opportunity for new wealth are almost always outsiders.• Outsiders know little or nothing about the normal way of doing things.• It is people unlike us who bring to us the source for new wealth.

KEY MESSAGE IN THIS STORY:• By definition, outsiders must be different from you and me.• You can only access these people if you are open to diversity.

Ellis Island—Opening the Doors to Outsiders• America opened its doors to more immigrants than any other nation in history.• Immigrants came from many different cultures; every social and economic status.• America gained more diversity—therefore more innovation.• All the revolutionary ideas led to more wealth than any other nation in history.

KEY MESSAGE IN THIS STORY:• America is living proof that wealth, innovation and diversity are connected.

STEP 3 - SUMMARY MESSAGES:• New wealth of all kinds—economic, cultural, ecological—comes from innovation.• Economic, cultural, ecological wealth are all connected and cannot be separated.• Innovation is driven by diversity.• Diversity opens the door to new kinds of wealth…

The wealth for sustainability for both ecosystems and and culturesThe wealth of varietyThe wealth of new combinations and new innovationsThe wealth of outsiders whose new thinking is the direct result of diversityThe wealth of new value added to the world.New economic wealth, too.

STEP 3: FINALE MESSAGES (2–3 minutes)• The world has crossed the threshold of the new Millennium.• Much ahead is unfamiliar to all of us; nobody has ever been there before.• The easy response might be to go back down the pathway to where we belong.• Our true nature has never been to stay where we belong, but going where we become!• The new world is beginning to flower…

new ideasnew technologynew musicnew artnew businessesnew industriesnew friendshipsnew cultures new opportunities await us all;

“So, we need to begin the climb. Together—and we must climb with a common vision, one that will form the foundation of the 21st Century:

To build a world, on the strength of our differences,where all of us can be happy and healthy at the expense of no one else.

…let’s get started, we don’t want to keep the millennium waiting.”—Joel Barker

“…Attention to small details, makes perfect a large work.” —Rumi

RESERVE A ROOM.

• Go see it, if possible.• Make sure it is large enough and will accommodate small groups working together.• Table or chairs with a writing surface will be most useful for the activities.

RESERVE VIDEO EQUIPMENT.Due to the powerful messages and picturesque scenery from around the world…

• Use the largest video monitor available; you may want two for more than 10 people.• At best, large-screen projection is highly recommended.

GATHER MATERIALS.

• Order workbooks and take-away momento cards for each participant.• Review and print overhead slides, participant handouts and wall signs from

the CD-ROM.

THE VIDEO EQUIPMENT:Equipment is in working order, video has been tested and cued up to push play.Volume is adjusted; test it from the back of the room; make sure it is loud enough.You or your assistant knows how to operate the equipment.Make sure you know how to turn the lights ON and OFF.

A potential lifesaver…Put a small flashlight near the equipment so you can see the equipment controls. Thiswill allow you to react to problems when the lights are down with minimal disruption.

THE ROOM:Room set-up is correct.Tidy up the room; remove clutter; wipe down boards and desks, if they are dirty.Test overhead projector.Session materials are in the room (e.g., workbooks, Po s t - i t® Notes, wall signs, handouts,take-away memento cards and ove rhead slides).Pencils, pens and extra note paper are available.

THE LEARNING ENVIRONMENT—create a welcoming placeCreate a “welcome” sign or flip chart for the front of the room.Bring a CD or Tape player; pick an instrumental with a soothing tone; music welcomes.Be ready and present when participants begin to arrive; welcome them.Talk to every person before the session starts; be a role model of inclusion.Learn with the participants; enjoy the experience of helping others discover how much the know.

Six Follow-on Actions You Can Take

Below are five follow-on actions you can take to capitalize on the enthusiasm and momentum that was created during your Wealth, Innovation & Diversity video workshop:

Send a follow-on message to everyone who attended, summarizing the report backactions and c o m m i t m e n t s f rom the closing group presentations. Thank eve ryone for p a rt i c i p a t i n g . If you used the Wealth, Innovations & Diversity Session Reflectionshandout, include a summary of the group’s write-in comments submitted following the session.

Walk your talk and acknowledge others doing the same. Make sure your own day-to-day actions reflect behaviors and actions that cultivate the advantages of diversity in your organization and serve as a role model for others working to change themselves. Talk about successes and progress every chance you get.

Save 10–15 minutes in each team meeting to check in with people and see whatis going well, what still stands in the way and what can you all do about it by workingtogether—mutualistically. This regular communication will help you and everyonein the organization stay focused on achieving the goals you established for change. It will also help you gain familiarity and confidence about talking with each otheroften, feeling free to be open and honest about inhibitors to progress.

Encourage people to share their success stories about how a new consciousness about cultivating the advantages of diversity is bringing about opportunities for innovation and growth. Tell those stories wherever you go to inspire others; inviteothers to do the same at meetings and other gatherings.

Plan a Wealth, Innovation & Diversity follow-on session to revisit where you started, review key messages and discuss what you all have learned in the process.Have everyone bring their original workbooks for reference. Establish one or two new goals or align and refocus on the ones you are still working to achieve.Cultivating the advantages of diversity within an organization, workplace and community, takes an ongoing cycle of perpetual action and consciousness.

Read about the Diversity Breakthrough! Strategic Action Series on the pages that follow. You may find resources that will help you and everyone in your organizationin your effort to create a diverse, inclusive organization positioned to serve the marketplaces and communities of the 21st Century.

New Thinking and New Tools for a New Century

“I strongly recommend you take a look at Debbe’s more extensive work on diversity.Below is a detailed overview of her series.”

—Joel Barker

Diversity is a strength. It is a hallmark of thriving organizations now, and will only grow in i m p o rtance in the years to come. Howe ve r, efforts to create diverse andi n c l u s i ve organizations, w o rkplaces and communities are often plagued by the samep roblems common to any change initiative: Lack of leadership. Too much talk andtoo little action. Lack of clear goals and measures. Breakdowns in communication.Denial. Finger pointing. Resistance. Disinterest.

Di versity Bre a k t h rough! is an integrated series of booklets and tools specificallyd e s i g n e d to overcome these kinds of roadblocks. Diversity Breakthrough! bringsnew thinking and a new approach to one of the most important challenges facingorganizations today.

Take a New Action-Directed ApproachUse an Integrated Change System

Engage Everyone in the ProcessCreate a Diversity Breakthrough!

Every leader in your organization interested in serving the people in the market-places and communities of the 21st Century. Including…

• Managers and administrators in any organization, business or community

• Human Resources Managers and Professionals

• Diversity Managers

• Change Management Program and Project Managers

• Diversity and HR Consultants and Trainers

• Management Development Program Managers and Instructors

• Human Resource Management Professors

• Educational Curriculum Developers

“The topic of DIVERSITY has been an ongoing challenge to every element of modern society. Debbe Kennedy hastaken on this challenge and produced, with her new book series, a process which, I think, does the best job of generating action and growth toward understanding diversity and utilizing its extraordinary advantages.Particularly important is the powerful and novel set of activities and exercises that draws in everyone and enables them to climb to a new plateau of understanding and commitment.

Debbe’s work is going to change a lot of people’s paradigms!”

—Joel A. Barker

Who needs it?

Anyone leading change.

The Diversity Breakthrough! Strategic Action Series isbuilt around this simple model. It depicts the ongoing cycle of action that has always brought about great change in organizations, institutions, businesses, communities, countries and the world. It applies whether you are just beginning a new initiative, taking a next step in an existing one or revitalizing an effort well under way. Its imperfect circlesymbolizes the realities of change. Change is hard work, often with big swings of effort and sacrifice necessary to arrive at the next step—andwhen you reach a moment of success, you soon realize that there remains much more to do to keep the momentum alive. So, we begin the cycle again, alwaysworking toward new levels of progress and achievement.

Central to achieving a “diversity breakthrough” is to get people at all levels to talk with each other, to figure out what’sgoing right, what’s standing in the way and what action will create change. This is easier said than done. Even the bestleaders often lack the confidence and know-how to conduct meaningful, productive discussions about diversity and inclu-sion—and more importantly, a discussion unintentionally bumbled can have far-reaching implications on morale and theorganization itself. Also, many are reluctant to share the truth or have a hard time formulating observations in a clear,concise way. Diversity Breakthrough! Action Dialogues is designed to relieve these problems and elicit honest, succinct feed-back in a safe, welcoming dialogue.

This boxed-for-travel set includes an inspiring book thatdescribes step-by-step processes for conducting three distinc-tive action dialogues. One dialogue focuses on exploring yo u rown thinking, another is designed for one-on-one discussionsand one is tailored for small group conversations. Each ofthese dialogue formats has a goal of getting core issues on thetable, mobilizing action and accelerating change.

Diversity Breakthrough! Action Dialogues also comes with itsown innova t i ve problem identification tool, a deck of custom-illustrated, ove r s i zed cards, which serves as a powe rf u l aid forencouraging honest, open communication. The cards identify52 common organizational problems in seven key areas ofinfluence—Leadership, Culture, Involvement, The Business,

Strategies & Measures, Staffing & Development and Ownership—and include a quote from a notable leader that illu-minates the importance of solving the problem. Tough issues are put on the table, making it easier to discuss sensitivetopics. Through a simple sorting process, core issues can be pinpointed within minutes, leading the way for discussionabout next steps to begin moving t ow a rd resolution. Because this can be a silent, anonymous, and even enjoyable pro c e s s ,fears of being singled out as “d i f f i c u l t” or “n e g a t i ve” are eased. Action Dialogues c reates a safe place for real action-dire c t e ddialogue. It helps you see pro g ress and identify what still needs attention and action.
