Keynote by Vivienne Ming : The Neuroscience of Trust and the Diversity-Innovation Paradox

Building a culture that embraces the tension between trust and diversity takes time and effort. When led correctly, diverse teams outperform non-diverse teams in terms of higher collective intelligence, innovation and creative problem solving. However, even when leaders believe in the power of diversity and the value proposition for diverse teams, many struggle to capture this value – because of the way we’re wired.

In this keynote and/or discussion, Dr. Ming shares: the complexity of The Neuroscience of Trust and how our brains process information about other people, why creating a culture of trust in diverse teams is harder than it looks, and what we need to do about it. Vivienne shares research and experience in real organizations and has explored ways leaders and teams can “hack” their brains and overcome instincts that impede their ability to hire and nurture winning diverse teams.

These same ideas can be applied to how sales teams connect, build and maintain relationships with customers, how marketers better understand target audiences, and leaders can leverage special, ultra-diverse teams for special projects and key initiatives.

Keynote by Vivienne Ming : The Tax on Being Different: Data on Diversity

There is an unspoken tax that we all pay. It is a tax that impedes growth and stagnates economies, a tax that causes massive amounts of money and productivity to be lost every year. This tax is collected around the world and often targets those least able to pay it. It is the tax on being queer, POC, or female. It is the tax on being different.

Dr. Vivienne Ming provocatively addresses this tax by making it tangible. Leveraging massive amounts of HR data, she rewrites issues of bias and discrimination in order to understand and quantify what your differences are costing you. Simultaneously didactic and richly autobiographical, The Tax on Being Different combines vibrant life stories with profound insights about people and, more importantly, how we can change them for the better.

Argumenting human potential with artificial intelligence & tech

Speaking frankly about her own struggles with depression and homelessness after academic struggles forced her to leave college, she inspires audiences with her story of overcoming. A decade later, she returned with a new mindset and graduated from the San Diego campus of the University of California with a B.S. in Cognitive Neuroscience. She continued schooling to obtain a Ph.D. from Carnegie Mellon in Psychology.

Dr. Ming co-founded a think tank to research human potential, called Socos Labs. Working to influence global policies, her work focuses on integrating AI to predict the best candidates for jobs in technology and analyse merit-based career promotions. She's also developed AI systems to predict bipolar manic episodes in advance, help her diabetic son with treatment, and reunite refugee families.

As a TEDx speaker, neuroscientist, and author, Dr. Ming's research has transformed the way audiences view AI potential and its uses in developing high-performing and inclusive cultures. Advocating for integrating machine learning to enhance human performance, Dr. Ming is blazing a new path for listeners to follow. By fostering innovation and offering technical tools to address human behaviour and group dynamics, Dr. Ming is revolutionising the future of work across the globe.
