In this episode, Jamey discusses the crucial topic of setting DEI goals within organizations. He first talks about the common misstep organizations make by jumping directly into DEI programs without evaluating their current standing or readiness, and without setting clear goals to track the success of these initiatives. The episode also talks about the importance of establishing DEI goals that align with other organizational objectives and are monitored and adjusted regularly to ensure effectiveness.
Jamey introduces the SMART Plus framework for setting DEI goals, explaining the traditional SMART criteria— Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, and Time-bound—and adding elements focused on accountability and DEI alignment. This additional focus includes assessing DEI readiness, capacity, and leadership alignment to ensure that the organization is fully prepared to meet its DEI objectives.
