SV: Looking for impactful speakers and ideas for BP top 40 Exec. inclusivity event...

[Thomas Herrmann]

Dear Zelle
Although, I am not fully clear about the subject at hand, my spontaneous
reaction is that one very good way to raise awareness about an important
subject is to facilitate an OST meeting where, in this case, these leaders
would get the opportunity to meet and dialogue with people with interest,
passion and experiences in this very area. To meet and share experiences,
face to face with people who have first hand experiences is very strong,
opposed to most lectures, I think.
Best regards
Thomas Herrmann

Ämne: Looking for impactful speakers and ideas for BP top 40 Exec.
inclusivity event...


  Hello!
  I have a question that I hope you might be able to help me
  with.

  If you could have the ear of 40 powerful business people in the world,
with
  the perspective of inclusivity in mind, who would you choose to talk with
  them, what would you choose to have them experience?

  I'm helping to create an event for the top 40 executives at BP (British
  Petroleum). Which is a pretty powerful group seeing they're now the 3rd
  largest corporation on the globe. The purpose of the event centers around
  the "price of exclusion," or what happens when you create an "other." They
  realize, as a global company that moves people from country to country and
  impacts local communities, it's imperative for them to make high level
  policy decisions with inclusivity in mind. I give them a lot of credit for
  this, and have seen them really take it to heart.

  I'm in the research stage right now and would love it if you'd be willing
to
  give your thoughts on who you think might be a good speaker, or who should
  take part because their ideas are, or could be, really shaking up the
world.
  People who have firsthand experience in third world countries or within an
  organization that is heavily facing these issues and is working to deal
with
  them. That kind of thing.

  After the top 40 experience this before the end of the year, they'll
cascade
  it to the next 500 and then to about 2000 middle managers over the next
  couple of years. Any ideas?

  I want to find traditional speakers and thought leaders and definitely
  alternative people and ideas that might not fit the filter of Harvard or
  Oxford. Also, we're looking to find a good portion of the people from
  outside the US and UK, so they experience a better world view.

  Thanks so much for your thoughts! I really appreciate your knowledge.
