I recently had the opportunity to have a conversation with Joe Santana, Senior Director of Diversity for Siemens USA.  We discussed how to develop a diversity and inclusion strategy and key success measures.  He also shared several articles he had written with me.  One of them had a quote that I thought was particularly applicable for the approach taken by many companies to developing a diversity and inclusion strategy:

"Being an Equal Opportunity Employer is as much evidence of having a competitive diversity advantage as having email is evidence of having a competitive communications advantage."

- Joe Santana, "Generating Effective Diversity and Inclusion Practices for Your Business-to-Business Environment" in Diversity Best Practices CDO Insights
