Our tide is rising even within these firms. If you look at their strategies it's now all about diversity and the power of combining different viewpoints. They are not looking for diverse stakeholder managers, they understand that the new economy is driven by people who in the past they would only meet by chance in a lab as they were inspecting a factory. And they want some of these people (potentially the least capable? I cannot judge, I am one), because it's all about client relationships, and you have to fit with the clients, not your peers. Compare that to a few years ago, when even dress code was more or less a uniform. I don't want to disappoint you, but they are not complacent and they have seen it coming since the last 10 years. These organisations are built to their core to manage shifts like that. Whether they will succeed this time is to be seen. But they have weathered such changes in the past, usually boosting their performance out of the broader change.
