Complimentary 2020 SAICA Friday Knowledge Cafe: Neuroscience of Diversity & Inclusion
Who should attend?
SAICA members and associates [CA(SA)/AGA(SA)/AT(SA)] and trainees and members of the public
Overview
A practical webcast covering the neuroscience of diversity and inclusion. Delegates will leave the session having a better understanding of how the brain works as it relates to how we interact and engage with others and why we develop specific bias from a neurocognitive perspective. Delegates will also leave with the tools required to understand how we can drive high-performance teams.
Topic:
Diversity & Inclusion is one of the most important focus areas of successful businesses around the world. The events of 2020 have only amplified its importance and aimed a magnifying glass on challenges in both society and the workplace. An understanding of the brain provides a more scientific lens into this focal point of business that can also challenge conventional wisdom in the same area. This 1 hour keynote will feature an expert from the Neuroleadership Institute who will share some of the science and application in the field of Diversity & Inclusion in the workplace. The Neuroleadership Institute is a global research driven leadership institute that works with 50% of the Fortune 100. They are purpose driven in making organisations more human using science.
The session will cover
- Landscape of Diversity & Inclusion in the workplace
- Neurocognitive components that underlie bias
- How inclusion can be used to drive higher performing teams
