Amplify DEI Hackathon
Description
Step into the future of Inclusion and high – performance with the Amplify DEI Hackathon. This transformative session is not just a workshop, but a springboard that will launch your organisation to the forefront of the DEI movement.
The Amplify DEI Hackathon harnesses the power of design thinking – an innovative, systematic approach to problem solving that will revolutionise your inclusion strategy. With its iterative process of challenging assumptions, redefining problems and identifying alternative solutions, design thinking provides the tools needed to find groundbreaking solutions that drive real change.
But what makes design thinking the winning formula for inclusion? At its core is a human-centred philosophy. This unique approach recognises the complexity of the human experience and asks the crucial question: ‘What does the employee really want?’ In the realm of inclusion, where empathy, honesty and forward thinking are paramount, this question becomes a beacon that guides us to meaningful, impactful solutions.
By participating in the Amplify DEI Hackathon, you are not just attending an event, you are immersing yourself in a dynamic problem-solving environment. You will gain invaluable insights into how to embed inclusoin in the DNA of your organisation, leveraging the different perspectives that fuel innovation and drive business growth.
However, the true magic of the Amplify DEI Hackathon lies in Vivian Acquah’s tailor-made approach. She recognises that every organisation has unique challenges and strengths. That is why Vivian has developed her own model, based on design thinking principles, tailor-made for inclusion. She works closely with you and places you at the heart of the inclusionI journey to develop tailor-made solutions that meet your specific needs and those of your employees.
Embrace the Amplify DEI Hackathon and let us guide you on your journey to creating an inclusive, equitable and diverse future for your organisation. The time for change is now. Seize the opportunity to make inclusion more than an initiative – make it an integral part of your organisation’s ethos.
