Getting serious - Our experiences in elevating the representation of women in leadership - A letter from business leaders (2011)
In our companies we see progress from building an understanding of gender diversity and taking the actions described in Phase 1. However, for most of us, these alone do not meet our aspirations. The next transition occurs when we move from an interest in elevating women in leadership, to an understanding that we must actively drive change in the same way that we do for any transformational business imperative. -

Capturing the diversity advantage - Our experiences in elevating the representation of women in leadership - A letter from business leaders (2011)
For most Australian companies, the transition from Phase 1—Getting in the game, to Phase 2—Getting serious, will be most relevant. However, a number of our companies have been in Phase 2 for some time. Some of us see a path to continued improvement, with a payoff that will go further than just gender balance. Woolworths and CBA’s experiences, starting on page 30, show how individual companies have navigated Phases 1 and 2, and how they are beginning to think about the next phase of their journey. -

Woolworths' Gender Diversity Journey - Our experiences in elevating the representation of women in leadership - A letter from business leaders (2011)
In 2004, Woolworths began to place increasing focus on gender diversity. The business was in a growth phase and the need for the next generation of talented leaders was obvious. At that time, although women were 55 percent of Woolworths’ workforce, they represented only 16 percent of the top team. The opportunity for and benefits of having more women in leadership were clear. -
