She also received the 2020 Society for Industrial Organizational Psychology (SIOP) Early Career Award in Practice.
About Juliet's Presentation Our ability to leverage assessment technology in new and unique ways is expanding at a rapid pace. With this tremendous growth, new techniques and tools, the impact of which are often not fully understood, become available to assessment professionals. Unfortunately, our natural desire to explore the unexplored and push boundaries risks us jeopardizing the most important part of our work--the lives of those taking our assessments and how they are impacted by these powerful tools. By supporting hiring and promotion decisions, these assessments, in a very real way, determine who has a job, and therefore financial security. These tools have great potential to have a positive impact on people’s lives, or to do harm.
In her keynote presentation on Monday afternoon during the IPAC Conference, Dr. Aiken will discuss human-centered approaches to leveraging assessment technology that prioritize positive and equitable impacts and minimize harm. Tricks, tips, and trade-offs, as well as potential traps to avoid, will also be discussed through the lens of a responsible and ethical approach to getting the most out of your assessments.

About Victoria's Presentation In business, what gets measured gets done, and diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) should be no different. Effective DEI measurement enables us to assess gaps between vision and reality and offers insight and clarity to help achieve data-based DEI goals. Yet, the process of using data and science to build strategy, execute efforts, and evaluate the ROI of DEI can at times be puzzling and challenging.
During her keynote presentation on Tuesday morning at the IPAC Conference, Dr. V will provide clarity around what should be measured and used to drive an organization's DEI efforts. Dr. V will passionately and eloquently share how to use data and metrics to turn what is often considered “soft and fuzzy” DEI work into measurable results and, most importantly, data-driven action.
