Masterclass: leadership for diversity

Many organisations have implemented diversity initiatives that have had little impact so far on the percentage of qualified women and underrepresented minorities holding leadership positions in digital technology. The challenge is even greater where companies across all industries are competing for highly sought-out technical skills in what some describe as a ‘talent war’. Besides the challenge of CIO’s attracting talent with the scarce combination of tech-skills and soft skills needed to collaborate with the business—creativity, cognitive flexibility, and emotional intelligence, they also face the challenge of appealing to workers who admire companies committed to having diverse workforces and leadership. So, how do we crack the code achieving more diversity in digital technology?

Programme details
This 2-day masterclass is for seasoned digital tech leaders and HR leaders in technology companies who wish to develop and implement the strategic narrative for diversity within their organisations. During the 2-day gathering, leaders will obtain a deep-dive into the latest thinking and the leading models for realising digital performance through diversity of talent. The following topics are covered:
