Diversity Driving Innovation
When it comes to the area of diversity and inclusion (D&I), there is no lack of conversation, and this was certainly the case at our event at Ayers House on Thursday 1 August.
Members and guests joined us and investigated how businesses are drawing upon their diverse workforce to enhance innovation. The session focussed on developing this community of practice through an interactive discussion where attendees heard ideas and shared their own thoughts on what has and hasn't worked in their own workplaces.
Karen Hughes, Chair of the AIPM D&I Community of Practice facilitated this workshop posing questions to get everyone thinking 'How can diversity drive innovation?' The session was followed with canapes and beverages to allow further time to discuss this topic and network.
We would like to thank Saab for their support of this event.
