DIVERSITY IN ORGANIZATIONS
14-15 NOVEMBER 2019
La diversité est aujourd’hui la plus grande richesse de la globalisation et de la société multiculturelle.
Néanmoins les défis de la diversité restent nombreux autant au niveau individuel qu’au niveau groupal et sociétal.
Katherine Phillips, professeure d’Éthique et Leadership à Columbia Business School, lauréate en 2019 du Mentorship Award de l’Academy of Management, va aborder lors de cette conférence le potentiel d’innovation et d’apprentissage des groupes diverses. A travers des multiples recherches et études de cas, Katherine Phillips nous convaincra que la gestion des diversités est une source majeure de progrès, mais également un levier important pour combattre les inégalités et l’intolérance.
Cette conférence est financée par la Chaire Internationale, ULB et par la Fondation Bernheim.
Dans le cadre de la Conférence Diversity in Organizations
This event is co-organized by the Centre Emile Bernheim, ULB’s research Institute in Management Science and the HR Circle Solvay.
What diversity dimensions are relevant at the workplace? How do organizations manage diversity and inclusion, and how are they perceived internally and externally? Do various employees truly embrace a culture of inclusion and fully understand what diversity & inclusion means? What organizational processes might unintentionally hamper inclusion? What can your managers do to more effectively manage team diversity and reap its benefits?
These and other questions will be discussed within the context of scientific research and practitioners’ experience. Our aim is cross-fertilization. The program of the conference is rich, combining the academic evidence on organizational diversity (through scientific lectures and poster sessions) with practitioners’ testimonials about their concrete reality of diversity.
In addition, if you want to learn how to concretely set up a Diversity and Inclusion Action Plan, please join our workshop, animated by experienced diversity experts.
This conference will provide the opportunity to network and collaborate with attendees. Our aim is to build bridges, not only between academics, but also between practitioners and academics, as we believe that only together we can bring about change that truly matters.
This two-day conference will take place on November 14 & 15 2019 at Brussels School of Economics and Management.

Financial Regulation and Stability

In presence of
Didier Reynders, Belgian Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs and European Affairs
Michel Barnier, European Union Chief Negotiator
The Brexit negotiations are in a difficult phase and it is hard to predict what relationship the UK will have with the EU in the future. The UK is most likely to exit the Single Market on 29 March 2019 or 31 December 2020. Financial institutions based in the UK will thus lose their passporting rights to the European market. This conference will examine some of the most important issues raised by this profound regime change.
