» Acknowledge where your strengths lie so you can put them to work in a focused and purposeful way . You will be more likely to seek out opportunity , and letting other people know means that opportunity will also come knocking on your door . When I interviewed Maria Pia De Caro from Unilever for our ‘ Be Inspired ’ series for the boom ! community , she summed this up brilliantly by suggesting you ask yourself , “ what makes you extraordinary ?” A simple but incredibly powerful and revealing question .

» Be a better ally . Creating inclusive workplaces where everyone can thrive comes down to all of us – men and women . Although we all have to do our bit to help create positive , effective cultures , practices and behaviours , male leaders have a particularly important role to play here in setting the agenda for gender diversity , enabling practical change and establishing accountability .

» Seeing action that influences change . The results of the latest Gartner Women in Supply Chain survey shows that 73 % of responding supply chain organisations have a diversity , equity and inclusion goal related to attracting , developing , retaining and advancing women . That ’ s an unprecedented number . We see this in action through what we ’ re learning within the boom ! community , and it ’ s great to be able to share best practices and collectively learn from what ’ s happening across the profession ..

YOU CAN PUT THEM TO WORK IN A FOCUSED AND
