Episode Title : Inclusive excellence for a Technology driven business – Dean Ian Williamson
Episode Summary: Businesses need leaders who are skilled not just in business but entrepreneurial and technology areas with a bent to bring economic as well as social well being. That is the mission of Dean Ian Williamson of Paul Merage School of Business at University of California at Irvine. Dean Williamson is passionate about building talent pipelines that are not just confined to organizations but that extend beyond into the community. With a bent on fostering inclusive excellence, Dean Williamson wants to ensure that minorities of all races, color, and ethinic groups are reached out and also are provided with an environment to thrive at school and beyond.
Topics discussed in this episode:1:30: Two focus areas: (1) Business school built around Technology. Develop leaders to bring together business, entrepreneurial, and technology skills to bring economic and social well being to the society (2) Inclusive excellence – Greater representation of individuals from all communities in business/entrepreneurial excellence.
4:25: Talent pipeline – (1) Can’t get people to apply (2) Can’t develop the people (3) Can’t utilize them (4) Can’t retain them. Problems in any of those areas will affect the outcomes. Need to have resilient pipelines with no leaks. Biggest constraint in the talent pipeline in the community.
6:00: Talent pipelines in the company are as a reflective of talent pipelines of the community. Be strategic and visionary about talent pipeline.
8:45: Struggling talent pipeline – example of New Zealand. Specific partnership with local community. FOcus on working professionals to access IT.
12:04: Discrepancy of small & large; Resource rich / resource poor. Should not underestimate the nimbleness of small. There are other levers. Money is not the only lever. The enjoyment of social / intrinsic rewards of flexibility/variety/training etc.
17:00: 60% of the freshmen class is made up of first generation college students. Performance in any setting is also about how to behave and thrive in any environment. There is a lot of talent out there but focus needs to be on making them successful.
22:30: Digital transformation is central to Paul Merage school. Innovation is a 2 step process. One is invention & intellectual property. And the other element is harnessing the IP. Paul Merage will focus on harnessing the invention.
24:43: One example is how to attract and retain the best talent. One way to use AI/ML use use it as a tool to harness to attract and retain talent.
26:00: One pathway to get jobs and advance career. And another pathway is to be an entrepreneur. Learn about financing a venture and launching a venture. Entrepreneurship is a behavior so people need to practice to be better at it.
30:00 (HEADLINER): Diversity in organization. Research has shown that women perform better in university. But they drop out at a much faster rate in organizations. What we found is that the environment is not supportive of them performing. Not just shape the pipeline but ecosystem.
