This case scenario explores how two senior Wall St. executives formed a successful commercial opportunity for Lehman Brothers that payed attention on building relationships with minority- and women-owned financial services firms.
It also illustrates how Patricia Miller Zollar and Nadja Fidelia aligned the Partnership Solutions Groups' actions with Lehman Brothers' "one business" strategy in ways that created economic value for the company. This case delves into the challenges of developing this business in an industry that tends to see "diversity" initiatives as activities that seek merely to benefit society and not as opportunities to create economical gain.
