In the Room Where it Happens: The importance of diversity in decision-making

Despite several years of concerted DEI efforts, we haven’t seen much change in our executive and decision-making ranks. Incorporating diversity in all levels of teams fosters an atmosphere where people can express themselves freely, leading to a willingness to take risks and share great ideas—it’s critical for establishing an effective culture of innovation.

This session will discuss the importance and role of diverse leadership and decision-making/strategy-setting involvement at all stages of the kids TV cycle, from pitch, to development, to greenlight, to production. We’ll address challenges and opportunities around tapping into diverse expertise, perspectives and experiences in leadership strategies, as well as discussing the role of inclusion in innovation and the business opportunities this can lead to.
