In the first of this year’s Critical conversations series of online events, Academy CEO, Dr Hayaatun Sillem CBE, was joined by:
- Anne-Marie Neatham, Partnership Director at Ocado Group and COO, Kindred
- Dr Karen Salt, Deputy Director for Research, Culture and Environment at UKRI
Drawing on their experience of evidence-based leadership, they explored how to create disruptors in the engineering community with new and innovative ideas to achieve our diversity and inclusion ambitions. The conversation looked at ways to measure diversity and inclusion that can make a real impact,and discussed the benefits of measurement to ensure greater belonging and meaningful commitments.
This event set the scene for the Academy’s forthcoming activities to support diversity and inclusion in engineering, including the annual Diversity and Inclusion conference on 15 March 2022.
