In this thought-provoking session, Joanne Lockwood challenged the superficial tick-box approach to diversity and inclusion (D&I), advocating for authentic workplace cultures of belonging where everyone can thrive with fairness, respect, equality, and dignity.

Joanne dissected the oft-missed potential of truly embracing diversity and inclusivity in organisations, including how it amplifies understanding of diverse customer bases, drives peak performance, fuels innovation, and aligns businesses with their societal roles.

This session is not about just knowing the facts, but about internalising them to form an inclusive ethos that’s woven into one’s DNA.

It’s about finding personal relevance and the ‘why’ behind D&I, going beyond rhetoric to actionable understanding.

The interactive discussion culminated with an open Q&A, where we encouraged you to introspect on your values, and consider how to actively include those often sidelined.
