Chief Diversity Officers are under increasing pressure to show results, secure resources, and justify their work to their executive leaders. The ability to make a compelling, data-driven, and business-aligned case for diversity and inclusion is essential for survival. But without a proven, scalable, systematic strategy for how to influence these leaders, even the most well-intentioned initiatives risk being deprioritized, defunded, or dismissed as “nice to have.”

The Science of Influence Impact Cohort identifies the key factors needed to effectively influence and motivate C-suite leaders. Led by a Seramount expert and supported by a network of peer Inclusion leaders, the program provides step-by-step guidance, practical resources, and ongoing support to help drive meaningful change—even in the evolving landscape of 2025.
