The primary issue that Diversity
must deal with is very hard for some to imagine and believe, that is, showing
Diversity’s measurable impact on organizational strategy and the financial
bottom-line. The ability to utilize a diverse mix of human and other resources
to create unique blend of strategy focused solutions, by its very nature,
creates an innovative competitive process that is difficult to copy – thus
making it a competitive advantage (largely invisible to competitors).
Although most organizations have
come a long way in introducing better metrics for Diversity on their corporate
scorecards, there is still a great deal of work to be done. Even the best
scorecards need improvement in some key areas to evolve to the next level of
performance impact. Metrics in several Diversity Scorecards focus on counting
activities, not producing outcomes and organizational transformations.
There is a distinct difference
between generating “outputs” from scorecard action plans and producing
“Strategic Outcomes” and “Intended Transformational Impacts”. “Strategic
Outcomes” and “Intended Transformational Impacts are defined as “the planned,
intended measurable result or effect of an action, situation, or event; something
that follows due to a planned execution of measurable actions which result in
intended consequences (or unintended consequences) that add value and drive
evidence-based change.
