Overview

Harness the benefits of diversity for organisational success.

The workplace is a microcosm of society. And today our society is more diverse, but also more partisan, more polarised than ever before. As a leader, it falls to you to harness all the benefits of diverse thinking, ideology, perspective and ways of doing in order to solve problems, drive innovation and unlock new value. At the same time, it is your responsibility to create, lead and model a collaborative organisational culture; one that not only accommodates difference, but proactively welcomes and values it.

Creating Inclusive Organisations empowers you with the evidence-backed insights, frameworks and tools to transform your leadership. You discover how to be a more inclusive leader: exploring breakthrough scientific approaches and leadership techniques that can assuage friction, unlock collective and collaborative thinking, enable wellbeing, engagement and new levels of productivity—and truly harness the power of diversity within your people, your teams and your organisation.

Impact

An exciting and transformational learning journey for you. Impactful and far-reaching benefits for your people, your teams and your organisation.  

Programme content

Key topics:

How you learn

Creating Inclusive Organisations dynamically integrates science and theory with morning lectures followed by class debate and discussion, case studies, group exercises, simulations and explorative role plays. You will be challenged to become experimental in your approach as a leader, both during and after the programme: trying out new approaches that build on your learning and devising your own techniques and interventions to review and evaluate in class and in the workplace. The programme is led by LSE faculty together with guest speakers and practitioners and brings together participants from a rich diversity of roles, organisations, sectors and industries to share insights, perspectives and outlook as you learn together.

 

Who attends?

Creating Inclusive Organisations is designed for a broad spectrum of leaders: people who manage other people and who are charged with setting those people up for success.

Participants include:

  • Managers across a wide range of industries from finance to retail, pharma, law, big tech and data and more.
  • Professionals with income generating responsibilities, product creators and whose roles involve strategic development.
  • Professionals who want to enhance their leadership ability and gain a better understanding of how to create and sustain an inclusive organisational environment.
  • Human resource professionals. 
Dr Grace Lordan

"Our world is being reshaped by difference, by polarisation, culture wars and by AI. We need inclusive leaders like never before: leaders who can bring in those critical, diverse perspectives from around the table and channel collective knowledge for better results; leaders who know what levers to pull to overcome friction and accelerate productivity."

Dr Grace Lordan, Associate Professor
