Discussion:
This week you read the case study: Making the Right Moves? The NFL and Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion in Coach and Executive Hiring. You are also completing a communication plan activity that will be part of your Week 9 assignment.
Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) programs can enhance organizations’ competitive position and brand perception. In the case study you are asked to assume the role of a consultant in helping to make the NFL’s commitments around DEI impactful and effectively communicating their resolve in enacting organizational change.
How can the NFL foster a culture that actively supports and promotes the growth of minority and women coaches and executives within the organization? Support your response with specific examples from the case study.
Discuss 2 communication strategies you would recommend to the NFL to discover unconscious bias and create buy-in for DEI efforts.
How might you use this approach when implementing DEI principles for your chosen company?
Provide a substantive response to one or more of your classmates
Replying to: Sherita Seabron
Hello Professor and class,
To foster a culture that actively supports and promotes the growth of minority and woman coaches and executives within the organization, I would recommend the following:
Creating a DEI team- this should include hiring a Chief Diversity Officer (CDO) and additional supporting team to oversee everything pertaining to diversity. From development of strategies and initiatives, overseeing of all things pertaining to diversity needs to ensure fairness and accountability within the NFL organization.
Establishing Mentorship Programs- the NFL would utilize experienced coaches and executives to mentor minority and woman who inspire to advance in their career with guidance, network opportunities and support.
Implement a continued Inclusive Work Environment- Ensure that all employees feel valued, respected, and treated fairly within the workplace. This should include continued diversity training, workshops, and initiatives.
Two communication strategies I would recommend to the NFL to discover unconscious bias and create buy-in for DEI efforts would be:
Training and Education- Ensuring mandatory unconscious bias training for all employees within the NFL from the executives, coaches, players to the janitorial team. No one should be exempt from receiving diversity and educational training to ensure the message is clearly communicated.
Communication- This can be accomplished by providing continued open communication focusing on DEI efforts. Through town halls, a forum of storytelling, personal testimonies, newsletters, etc. Any of these will be great opportunities for employees to share their experiences on the ongoing commitment within the NFL organization to continue fostering successful DEI initiatives.
By utilizing this same approach when implementing DEI principles for Designer Brands, Inc this will enhance their current strategies and initiatives in place to ensure all employees continue to feel respected, valued, equal and supported within the culture of diversity, equity, and inclusion..

		Title: “Navigating Change in the Auto Industry: Implementing Dublin-10 AI Application” 1. Context: The business in question is a mid-sized automobile manufacturing company that specializes in producing electric vehicles. The company prides itself on itsHypothetical Case Simulation: 
 You are the CEO of business (in an industry you will select) that is considering a new AI application called Dublin-10, to automate a system and bring efficiency to operations. An ROI study has convinced you this innovation will enable the business to eventually save costs and almost immediately expand production. However, it also will result in elimination of some employees’ job duties and at the same time increase other needed work. To avoid having to lay off employees whose work will change as a result of this innovation, you plan to roll out a retraining program for affected employees, as well as conduct the training required for the Dublin-10. None of this has been announced to employees.
 As the business’ leader, prepare the following prompt. 1. The hypothethical is purposely generic. For your response, choose a specific industry and business for this case (use the auto industry). In a sentence or two, for context, describe the business. 2. You have done the ROI, determined need, and impact on workforce job duties. What else should you consider? There are several management concerns when implementing change, but for this Discussion explain at least 2 other planning concerns or actions you should cover specifically relating to your business’ implementation of the new AI, Dublin-10? (Approximately 250-300 words.)

 Problem 2
 Coffee Palace’s manager, Joe Felan, suspect that demand for mocha latte coffees depends on the price being charged. Based on historical observations, Joe has gathered the following data, which shows the numbers of these coffees sold over six different price values:
 Price Number Sold
 $2.70 760
 $3.50 510
 $2.00 980
 $4.20 250
 $3.10 320
 $4.05 480
 Using these data, how many mocha latte coffees would be forecast to be sold according to simple linear regression if the price per cup were $2.80?.Instructions / Notes
