Culture change in a business is about ensuring that all people and resources are fully engaged and yielding their true potential.

However, sometimes good intentions are not applied in real life, actions don’t follow up, people's needs are not taken in account, people feel undervalued, disengaged, and do not dare to speak up. Business suffers.

Can you look at failure in the eyes and anticipate barriers to change?

In this interactive session, we’ll first hear from our panel about:

• the consequences of not “speaking up" and what prevents some of us from "speaking up".
• how we let a culture of fear and inequality slowly creep in and damage our potential for innovation, well-being and productivity.
• how to design and activate business processes that enable people to express their needs, and foster positive change.

Panel members include

• Paula Lee, Employment Lawyer specialised in Discrimination and Equal Pay at Leigh Day LLP,
• Katy Alexander, Director of Marketing and Communications at Digital Science, and tech start-up founder (Nomadict, the Remarkablz)
• Social Innovation and Leadership Development specialist Servane Mouazan (Cadence Innova, Ogunte CIC)
• Jaspreet Kaur, Business Analyst, Change consultant and E-Commerce Entrepreneur (Cadence Innova)
• Cynthia V Davis, CEO BAME Recruitment, dedicated to achieving highly effective diverse candidate attraction and strategies.

The panel will be followed up by an interactive - and surprising! - group exercise, that will help you:

• pierce the gruelling fear bubble and get people speak up constructively.
• understand what happens when we listen to the voices of the minority.
• understand how a single process can help you understand your team better, and help you design new business processes that will boost your company's culture and performance.
