How can hyper-diversity be a competitive business advantage for Social Care?
Diversity is the making of successful business.
- It drives fresh thinking.
- It's the way we break old habits.
- It’s the way to find new and more effective ways to achieve our goals.
- And it starts with diversity in our people.
For Adult Social Care it is a hidden sector strength that can be turned into a business asset. Equity within a business is a source of competitive advantage, workforce satisfaction and it's key to addressing health inequalities. We’re joined by experts Amarjit Basi, educator and co-founder of the Black Leadership Group and David Kester, former CEO of the UK Design Council and co-founder of DK&A.
They’ll discuss:
- Their principles of equity-centred design
- Their approach and methodology
- Their recent impact with individual HRDs and D&I leaders
Turning hyper-diversity into an asset for social and economic good is at the heart of the work of London Equity & Design (LEAD) a partnership between anti-racism not-for-profit organisation, the Black Leadership Group (BLG), and design and innovation agency, DK&A.
Amarjit is an Executive and founder member of the Black Leadership Group (BLG), established in late 2020 to tackle systemic racism in Further Education. The BLG's ’10 Point Plan’ serves as a toolkit for college leaders to drive sustainable change and promote an anti-racist education system.
Throughout his career, Amarjit has held senior leadership roles in various Further and Higher Education institutions. Under his leadership, several institutions achieved outstanding accreditations and Queen's Anniversary Prizes for innovation and quality in training and skills.
