Innovation is the subject where the most diverse views, experiences and mindsets bring the greatest opportunity for fresh thinking. Those businesses with a diverse workforce and the right culture to make the most of it, are getting ahead of those who don’t – and the results are speaking for themselves. This session will look at how to best harness diversity of thinking for commercial advantage.

• learn the four key qualities of inclusive leadership
• recognise the challenges you might face when trying to create a more inclusive workplace and culture
• understand the nature, origin and consequences of cognitive blind spots and biases – such as in-group thinking
• appreciate the link between building diversity and inclusion efforts to business strategy (see The Equity Effect report)
