Overview

Re-thinking DEI: From Consensus to Candour

What does effective DEI look like when organisations move beyond consensus and create cultures where people feel able to speak openly, challenge ideas and disagree constructively?

Most organisations have invested heavily in building inclusive workplaces, aiming to bring more perspectives into the room, improve decision-making and enable people to bring their full selves to work.

But a lot of HR leaders are quietly reporting something else.

Meetings where nobody says what they actually think. Colleagues who've concluded the safest contribution is no contribution at all. Capable people stepping around the conversations that matter most, in case they get the words wrong.

If any of that feels familiar, this session is for you.

In this free webinar, we'll look at what has worked, what hasn't, and what a more sustainable approach looks like in practice, including:

  • An approach that unites your employees, not divides them
  • Real inclusion starts with leadership, not consensus
  • The skill that matters most is disagreeing well
  • The importance of uniting around what you have in common
  • Noting that in the age of AI, being human is your competitive edge
  • Challenging the idea that you need to bring your whole self to work

This isn't a debate about politics. It's a practical conversation about culture, capability and the quality of the thinking your organisation is getting from its people.

You'll also gain expert tips that you can take away and immediately implement and practise in your organisation.

The webinar will be presented by Barry Phillips, Chairman, Legal Island and Simon Fanshawe OBE, writer, broadcaster, DEI consultant, and regular contributor to the Guardian and the Sunday Times newspapers.
