Until the industry is more willing to openly discuss development processes, the lack of transparency will continue to be used as a straw man for bad-faith arguments that characterize DEI as an imposition by nefarious, unseen forces rather than an effort to cultivate a more accurate reflection of the world around us.

Groups like the World Economic Forum, Blackrock and Vanguard are all out in the open. They're also very honest about what they're doing and their goals too. No "unseen forces" necessary, when they so proudly operate out in the open.
