Discussion/Comments
Moya Watson: exactly! our CTO bjoern.goerke recently
gave a d&i session in which he said "we've got the tech
down -- it's the people, the people changing, that's the
hardest" <paraphrase>
Marilyn Pratt: 2011 - for the event:

g) Karin Tillotson: I wrote a blog in 2016 Gender Diversity in Tech - Why Do Some Companies Have Difficulty Finding Women For Technology Jobs https://blogs.sap.com/2016/02/22/gender-diversity-in-tech-why-do-some-companies-have-difficulty-find...
Moya Watson: I think the fear of the word quota is real -- but -- frankly -- a red herring.
(g) Graham Robbo: I am no fan of the concept of "affirmative action" but the reality is that these types of initiatives have moved the needle when so many attempts before have failed
Moya Watson: If we know it could help us achieve our goals, we need to use the tools we can. check this out --- https://work.qz.com/1237723/silicon-valley-needs-to-set-quotas-to-solve-its-diversity-crisis/
Amina Anderson: only way to be intentional is to set the goal - otherwise it doesn't happen
Moya Watson: + amina. "if it can be measured, it can be improved"
