Day Two: Measuring, Monitoring, & Tracking Results for Business Growth & Sustainability
Actively initiating, developing, and sustaining a supplier diversity approach to business growth benefits a business’ bottom line and enhances corporate brand image. Inclusive suppliers provide access to emerging markets domestically and globally, while also link to corporate and community responsibility. Supplier Diversity is also an innovative strategy that enables and sustains small to mid-size business growth.

- Identify your best strategy for recruiting & embedding a talented pool of diverse suppliers into your organization’s culture and industry
- Define behaviors & dialogues to build relationships between MBEs and suppliers
- Explore trends for MBE development & suppliers to facilitate operational impact
