  • Determining if you have the right people in place, how to communicate objectives, how to gain allies, and how to develop an accountability process
  • Discovering elements of a good policy, including how to review or write the policy
  • Understanding the supplier diversity lifecycle, including the who-what-how and the critical elements of tracking and reporting
