Topics, Sessions And Talks
The slogans, black squares and commissioning of “unconscious bias” training are the easy part. But what happens next, and how can individuals, teams and organisations ensure that, when it comes to racism, they’re part of the solution? In His highly engaging style, Chris sets out a roadmap for change, tapping into his broad and deep knowledge of building effective teams and organisations across many sectors, as well as a lifetime spent navigating the pitfalls and glass ceilings of racial politics in the UK.
As thoughts turn to what comes next post-COVID, the volume and importance of decisions needing to be made will continue to grow. Chris Grant draws on examples from this most unusual tome, and the insights from his new book “Better Decisions” to offer a startlingly accessible and engaging talk, full of practical wisdom and useful techniques.
Whether “live” or through a screen, the value of any keynote sits where the speakers' insights meet the audience's experiences and perspectives. Chris Grant uses a unique approach, developed in contexts as diverse as the European Retail Real Estate conference and the Visionary Conference for UK sight-impairment charities. He gathers the views of a cross-section of participants up front by asking three very short, simple questions and then weaves these into an engaging, comprehensive, forward-looking view of the team, organisation, sector, or industry in question.
