- The Secret to the Most Innovative Organisations: The Entrepreneurial Mindset - We live in highly unstable and uncertain times. Does your company encourage everyone to develop an entrepreneurial mindset? More than ever, you need those intrapreneurs inside your organisation. In this keynote, Roberta shares how the most innovative startups empower teams to develop resilience, take risks and exercise their curiosity, creativity and entrepreneurial mindset.
- How Diversity & Inclusion Create a Better World - Despite evolution and research surrounding diversity & inclusion, and gender balance, we still create biased algorithms and datasets. In particular, managers fail to consider the Attribution Bias when leading their teams. Roberta considers the factors that enable this discourse and what can be done to ensure the technology and processes, we rely on, can assist leaders and companies to make meaningful decisions without continuing to perpetuate bias.
