Diversity on a Deadline: How we created everyone’s 2012 with Stephen Frost

The Olympic and Paralympic Games represent a once in a lifetime opportunity to achieve paradigm change in policymaking.  As Head of Diversity and Inclusion for the London Organizing Committee 2007-2012, Stephen worked with the CEO, HR Director and other directors and colleagues to achieve systemic change in recruitment, procurement and customer service delivery mechanisms.  Using a range of incentives, London managed to achieve unprecedented diversity in the workforce through demand and supply interventions in recruitment, as well as significant strides in supplier diversity through an assertive procurement program.  Stephen will talk through some of the methods they used to achieve this result, hailed by the International Paralympic Committee as the “Best Games ever”.
