EDI, the Currency for the Future of Growth: Understanding its Challenges

EDI has long been seen as a “nice-to-have”; a peripheral objective. Such ways of thinking, however, are soon to be the nail in the coffin for organisations and associations that resist the centralization of EDI in strategic decision making. But it can scary, diversity! Why can’t we talk about our fears?! What about angers as they relate to EDI? Can we talk about that?! We just need to Google the “benefits of EDI” to understand the huge leaps in innovation, critical thinking and growth as it relates to EDI, but understanding does not mean action. Let us take a moment to recognize that the challenges to EDI are challenges that we hold internally. Let us create the space to discuss these challenges. Roy Gluckman explores some of his thinking in this field and the barriers that limit our EDI implementation.
