A Possible Pathway to the C-Suite for Every Woman

Abstract

This case study describes how appreciative questions were used to address a need for the topic of gender diversity in the banking industry, in particular at the C-suite level. From September to December 2021, Appreciative Inquiry principles were used in the development of a transformational change process within a managers’ group, comprised of women and men, as well as with individuals. With this in mind, a new program in favour of sustainable gender diversity emerged: C-level, a potential pathway for every woman.
