Event Description
The most expensive words in any business are sometimes the ones nobody says.
The risk that someone spotted but didn’t raise. The flawed assumption that went unchallenged in a board meeting because challenging it felt socially costly. The better idea that stayed in someone’s head.
Most organisations have invested significantly in building inclusive cultures, and the intent was always commercially sound: more perspectives in the room, sharper decisions, better outcomes. But a good number of leaders are now noticing something closer to the opposite — careful phrasing, guarded meetings, and capable people who have concluded that saying nothing carries less risk than saying something.
That is not an inclusion problem. It is a decision-quality problem, and it belongs on the leadership agenda.
RE-THINKING DEI: FROM CONSENSUS TO CANDOUR
[Tuesday 8th September] | [11a.m.-12noon] | Online | Live Only |
Presenter Simon Fanshaw OBE, writer, broadcaster, DEI consultant and author of “The Power of Difference”.
A session for executives, business owners HR and People Leaders on what actually builds a culture where people tell you the truth:
- An approach that unites your people, not divides them
- In the age of AI, being human is your competitive edge
- Real inclusion starts with leadership, not consensus
- The skill that matters most: disagreeing well
- Uniting around what you have in common
- Challenging the belief that you always need to bring your whole self to work
No ideology, no politics – a practical conversation about the quality of thinking your organisation is getting from the people you pay for it. This is a live-only event.
The presentation (followed by a Q&A) will include expert tips that you can take away and immediately implement and practise in your organisation.
