Should we really promote diversity because it is “good for business”?
In this episode, Chloë receives Olivier Sibony, professor at HEC Paris, associate fellow at the University of Oxford and author to discuss his latest book Diversity is not what you think.
Together, they deconstruct several preconceived ideas about diversity in business and propose a more rigorous and pragmatic approach.
In particular, Olivier explains why promoting diversity through improving performance is irrelevant.
It also deconstructs the illusions around cognitive bias training and advocates for a change in processes, rather than mentalities.
With Chloë, they discuss:
👉 The limits of the diversity “business case”
👉 Why bias training is often ineffective or even counterproductive
👉 The role of quotas and the possible excesses of façade diversity
👉 The dangers of “double duress” imposed on women in organizations
👉 Concrete levers to change recruitment and assessment processes
👉 The risks of reproducing biases with artificial intelligence
