Speaker: Dr Whelan, Managing Director of Psynapse
Session Overview: A culture of inclusion actively seeks and values the full contribution of diverse people, skills, perspectives, and experiences. It drives business performance because it grows an organisation’s collective intelligence; diverse, inclusive teams are smarter.
Dr Whelan, Managing Director of Psynapse, will demystify why diverse, inclusive teams perform better, explain why and how bias gets in the way, and introduce the key capabilities leaders need to lead in an age of inclusion and leverage the power of difference.
