• Ally Up: Ally is a Verb: AllyUp is framed around the understanding that the allyship of the individual can drive organizations to improve internal culture and also catalyze systematic change outside the four walls. In the same way, that relationship, between the individual and corporation, can inform, encourage and amplify examples of visible leaders who model authentic, action centered allyship.

• Out in the World. Securing LGBT Rights in the Global Marketplace: Out in the World was released by the Center for Talent Innovation in January 2016 and analyzes some of the most significant challenges that multinational corporations face in the global marketplace when corporate policy conflicts with anti-LGBT laws in the countries where they do business.
