The Culture and Inclusion Leaders Summit provides a space for practitioners within member companies to come together in a safe space environment to; connect, learn and share good practice, in pursuit of achieving race equity in senior leadership across the UK business community.
In the UK we are facing into some serious headwinds for continued targeted action on inclusion and yet growing evidence shows that more progress is needed, particularly when it comes to black representation in senior leadership.
In the face of uncertainty, action can slow, and businesses can adopt a more risk averse approach. Join practitioners from across our membership for this important session exploring how we can continue to lead with clarity and confidence.
Muniya Barua, Deputy CEO BusinessLDN interviews our Vice Chair Syreeta Brown
Developing leaders and line managers confidence and understanding on matters of race, ethnicity and the lived experience of ethnic minorities colleagues is critical to ensuring long term sustainable progress.
In this interactive workshop we’ll hear from Fiona Vines and Jennifer Ashton from BT on how the powerful book the Model Black by Barbara Banda has been an integral resource for leaders from all backgrounds to better understand the role that racial bias plays in the workforce and in decision making.
The session will include a facilitated roundtable discussion exploring some key themes from the Model Black and strategies that are working to build leadership capability.
In advance of the summit we encourage delegates to read The Model Black and or watch this Interview with Barbara Banda so you are familiar with the material.
