It now also makes what it’s learned available to all its clients large and small, and that’s a lot.

“CEOs can do a lot. They can merge and acquire businesses, but most of all they can get things done fast,” he said.
“So, I started calling all our clients, and even our competitors to get them to sign on to this CEO pledge. As of now, 370 of the Fortune 500 have signed on. And in every meeting I have with CEOs, I ask about their diversity and inclusion work—what worked well; what did you miss.”
Ryan also has a website, www.ceoaction.com, that makes available all the firm’s best practices on implementing diversity and inclusion to anyone.
