Here are some key takeaways from this episode:
Corporations use measures to guide behaviour
“corporations also produce and reproduce a lot of the inequality that we find in society we discuss this all the time. But many are trying to address it. One way you may have encountered are quotas and targets”
Corporations often mistake the measures for the goal
“You’ve heard people say what gets measured gets managed, but a consequence on managing these measurements is that the thing that gets measured becomes the goal instead of what it’s supposed to represent”
Focus on goals and use measures where appropriate
“we believe that a useful goal is to create an inclusive workplace where everyone can perform, everyone can belong, everyone can reach their potential”
