In today's VUCA world change is omnipresent. And from cybersecurity to climate change, the challenges we face are more complex than ever. To succeed, we need to collaborate in new ways and embrace innovative solutions.
Diverse teams think differently, generate more revenue and are more productive. But it's inclusion, not diversity, that catalyses this success. Because in a culture of belonging every voice is heard - and everyone empowered to use their talents to create lasting business value.
From the cycle of exclusion to lessons on winning the war for talent, this talk explains how inclusion underpins innovation. And how you can use it to create competitive advantage.
