April 5, 2023In 2020, McKinsey announced 10 actions toward racial equity. This set of new commitments “builds on our work to create better outcomes around racial justice and equity, and gives every firm member the opportunity to be tangibly involved,” says Sara Prince, McKinsey senior partner and leader of the 10 actions.
Action 7 articulated a bold goal focused on supplier diversity: to double our spending with diverse suppliers within three years, a goal we have now surpassed. “The firm has a deep and longstanding commitment to helping advance diversity, equity, and inclusion in business, in society, and within our firm,” says Scott Parris, chief procurement officer and McKinsey partner. “We are proud to have demonstrated that commitment, and we are just getting started. We will continue working to make it even easier for colleagues to find and choose diverse suppliers.”

We quickly learn to fear and thus automatically avoid potentially stressful situations of all kinds, including the most common of all: making mistakes.
