LEAD the mindset shift

Real digital transformation is not just a corporate buzzword. It means a change of mindset in the way we approach education and employment. Real change requires a diverse set of people to build the future, and an openness to doing things differently.

As business leaders we have a responsibility to overturn traditional approaches to hiring, culture, learning and development.

CONNECT with other changemakers

Be a part of the wider tech ecosystem. Joined-up digital transformation starts with connecting to the tech community at large. Commit to sharing best practice and pledge for a better, more inclusive future of tech.

Let’s be ambitious and work together to inspire a sea change for the future of work.

BUILD the future of work 

How is the UK going to keep, engage and train the workforce of tomorrow? Let’s start by sharing the tools we know for initiating real, actionable change. Build the blueprint for people-led digital transformation and lay the foundations for creating better products.

Listen to the experts share practical, tangible tips for making the tech industry more inclusive. It’s time we stopped talking about diversity and committed to doing something about it.
