DIVERSITY CONFERENCE 2015 Many sectors of our economy e.g. financial sectors are going through a dynamic process of change and development in order to align themselves with the broader socio-­‐economic agenda. At the heart of this process of flux are catch phrases such as ‘transformation’, ‘reform’, ‘empowerment’, ‘inclusion’ and other similar and interrelated words. We the organizers of the Change and Diversity Conference 2015 acknowledge the critical role that the different sectors play in the future development of our country and further appreciate the positive changes that are happening within and around them. We have simply subsumed the themes into one word, DIVERSITY. We have asked ourselves the simple question; ‘How can we harness the intrinsic value within our rich and diverse national and corporate human resources in such a way as to realize the full potential of our country?’ To enhance the discourse we will be hosting a change and diversity management conference and have identified a few organizations in Namibia as pivotal role players, who will be engaged to garner valuable insights on this critical issue and to hopefully attain support for the initiative. Change and Diversity Conference 2015 Cornerstone Joe Public Consultants (Pty) Ltd will be hosting a conference on change and diversity in Namibia. Meeting with different stakeholders confirms that the conference comes at the right time.
