Inclusion by Design

Join this meetup to learn what Inclusion by Design really means in practice and how to connect it to commercial outcomes.

It’s never been more important for organisations to take real action to make workplaces and customer products more inclusive. Inclusion isn’t simply an initiative to be treated as an add-on or a nice-to-have.

It’s a design decision.

One that should be embedded in business strategy and directly connected to commercial outcomes.

Fiona Vines, Diversity and HR Leader with over 20 years experience leading inclusion at some of the world’s largest organisations, advocates for inclusion by design – not as an afterthought. Her approach focuses on fixing systems, not people, to deliver meaningful customer, workforce and performance outcomes.

Join us on 21 May to hear Fiona in conversation with our Founder, Riina Hellström, as they explore what Inclusion by Design means in practice.

You’ll learn…

• What inclusion by design looks like – and why many organisations are still getting it wrong
• How to connect inclusion to real business outcomes – not just initiatives, but measurable impact
• How to build inclusion into the system – from leadership and processes to products and supply chains
• How to make inclusion stick – using the right data, metrics, and accountability
• Why agile is a game changer for inclusion – designing better employee and customer experiences from the ground up

As ever, this meetup will offer practical insights you can take straight back to your own organisation.

It’s also a great opportunity to get your questions on inclusion answered.

Join us!
