I have recently completed a DEI-centered course on Counteracting Unconscious Bias. In this course, I learned to examine the psychological processes that impact decision making within organizations and identify how professionals can design better work practices and help to more effectively leverage the potential among employees.

What does it mean to have an arsenal of democracy today? How do we incentivize industry to invest in capabilities that contribute to national defense? How do we incentivize the acquisition workforce and military leaders to manage (not avoid) risks while innovating at speed and scale? This framework guided the conversation of our panel of Service Acquisition Flag Officers, chaired by Michael Williamson, President of Lockheed Martin. Panelists were Alice T., Frank Lozano, Chris Manning, David Walsh, and Cherissa T. Lots of consensus that we need to get the incentives right, and people need to understand the "why" behind requests to go faster or operate differently. From this year's 21st Annual Acquisition Research Symposium, co-hosted with Naval Warfare Studies Institute at Naval Postgraduate School and Department of Defense Management at Naval Postgraduate School.

The journey toward #sustainability and social responsibility in the business world is a thrilling one, filled with both challenges and incredible rewards. We're seeing a global movement as more companies proudly wear the #bcorp badge. This isn’t just a logo—it’s a commitment to our planet, our communities, and our ecosystem. From 3,400 B Corps in 2020 to a whopping 7,200+ today, the growth is nothing short of inspirational. The PR industry, too, is joining this incredible journey, and the energy is palpable. At Mission North , we've taken a unique path. It’s been challenging, demanding, yet immensely rewarding. While we've admired the B Corp movement, we've forged our route, driven by a desire for more flexibility and innovation. My co-CEO, Bill Bourdon, perfectly encapsulates our journey in an interview with Chris Daniels from PRWeek about why we took the path of  benefit corporation status versus a B Corp certification. (full link to our blog post on our certification in comments): "While the B Corp journey is commendable, we've sought more flexibility to run our diverse social impact programs. But rest assured, our commitment is unwavering. Every step we take, every project we embark upon, is documented in our annual social Impact report. It’s not just about ticking boxes; it’s about genuinely nurturing a culture of corporate social responsibility, diversity, equity, and inclusion. What matters most is the heart, the passion, and the relentless drive to make a difference.” 🙏 A big shoutout to all B Corps, benefit corporations, and businesses worldwide making a conscious effort to drive change. The journey might be challenging, but together, we can create a ripple effect of positive impact. Please reach out if you are considering embarking on your own benefit corporation journey; happy to share our experiences.  #BenefitCorporation #CSR #Diversity #Inclusion #MissionNorth
