Diversity and Inclusion in the Board Room

In boardrooms and C-suites around the globe Diversity and inclusion are rapidly evolving from buzzwords and promises to reality.

These meetings can be focused on the business, but it is important to remember that decisions made here affect everyone, from employees to shareholders to the economy. These meetings are highly planned, and follow an established set of guidelines and rules (such as Robert’s Rules of Order).

Boardrooms are designed to accommodate a smaller group of people, with the majority seating 8 to 20 people around a large central table that facilitates face-toface discussions and promotes a sense of unity. High-quality furniture, as well as technology such a audiovisual teleconferencing system and other advanced systems, can create the right atmosphere that facilitates productive collaboration.

Using discussion boards is an effective way to involve students in discussions that go beyond the classroom, and help students see how their perspectives from outside are a part of the learning experience in the classroom. To encourage participation by students, instructors can start by asking icebreakers to make students familiar with their classmates and their responses. For example, Speer at Wichita State asks her students to introduce themselves using an emoji chain that describe their personalities and their interests. Students then read and respond to their peers’ answers. Summarizing a discussion by highlighting the main ideas and themes motivates students to monitor the entire forum.
