Embracing Diversity: Psychological Safety and DEI to Enable Futuring

One thing is certain, we're all different; thus today’s organizations must learn to embrace diversity. By identifying our assumptions, we can create psychologically safe spaces for people to be effective in designing current and future experiences that are inclusive and equitable.

We will do a condensed version of an assumption slam together then discuss how to incorporate this technique into business, so you can enable yourself and your organization to proactively create safe spaces for diverse individuals to articulate beliefs and have effective working relationships.

Join us as we open up the conversation around psychological safety, how it can enable futuring, and how you could apply this framework to help build futures everyone can get behind.
