Keynotes
Keynote by Tamara Makoni: Use inclusion to spark innovation
Is innovation your goal? A culture of inclusion is your best way to make this a reality:
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.

How you can harness cultural diversity to fuel business growth:
What does 'culture eats strategy for breakfast' actually mean? And have you ever wondered why it's breakfast that gets a mention, not lunch or dinner?

This talks lifts the lid on cultural diversity and shares insights and strategies that empower listeners to effectively bridge the culture gap.
Topics include:
The cultural iceberg
To DIE or not to DIE?
Generation and other trends in the multicultural workplace
Keynote by Tamara Makoni: Accelerating the path to gender equality
Gender inequality is a key challenge of our time. How can we accelerate progress - and how does doing this benefit us all:
Gender equality is one of the UN's sustainable development goals, but in 2022 the World Economic Forum estimated it will take 132 years for us to reach full gender parity at the current rate of change. If we want to realise the benefits of a gender equal society in our lifetimes we need to accelerate progress.
But what actually works to reduce gender bias and inequality?
This the key question Tamara asks and answers. And along the way you'll learn about:
The psychology of gender bias
The compounding effect of intersectionality
Why we all win in a gender equal society
Practical, everyday actions that are proven to reduce gender bias
