What if the key to unlocking your organization’s next big breakthrough isn’t new technology, but a new way of thinking about people? Companies that prioritize diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging (DEIB) are outperforming their competitors, driving innovation, and thriving in today’s competitive landscape. Yet, many leaders still view DEIB as a charitable effort rather than a critical business strategy.

Malia Lazu will challenge that perspective and show how embracing DEIB can transform your organization’s bottom line, and its future.

Malia Lazu is a Lecturer at the MIT Sloan School of Management, where she combines her expertise as an award-winning strategist with cutting-edge research on diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging (DEIB). Drawing from her work as a fellow at MIT’s Community Innovators Lab, Malia has pioneered initiatives like The Urban Labs, a multicultural agency helping brands realize the business value of diversity. Her research and teaching focus on transforming DEIB from a moral imperative to a strategic advantage, equipping leaders to create measurable impact in their organizations and communities.
