Our professional networks are a key factor in our performance.

The information we access, the ideas we generate, our ability to get things done or get a job, and even our performance and promotion are all affected, in part, by the relationships we have to others.

Lockdowns and remote working have forced a step change in how we do this – potentially destroying our professional networks and the performance gains we get from them.

In this Imperial Future Matters webinar, Imperial College Business School faculty, Associate Professor of Strategy and Entrepreneurship, Michelle Rogan, Associate Professor of Technology and Innovation Management, Anne Ter Wal, and Richard Broyd, Advisory Director at Blenheim Chalcot, will provide insights into avoiding network erosion and guiding change in your networks during the pandemic and beyond.

We are delighted to announce that the Ethnic Diversity in the City and Corporate UK Summit will take place on the 21 January 2021.

The Black Lives Matter movement has heightened awareness of the stark lack of racial diversity in the City and across Corporate UK. The FCA’s policy to encourage firms to hire more ethnic minority candidates in senior roles is just a part of wider efforts to tackle a widespread problem.

This timely conference will provide delegates with an in-depth understanding of the most effective measures and approaches to promote equality and diversity in the City and Corporate UK.

Discussion themes include:

• Why is greater racial diversity and equality a business imperative today?
• What works and what doesn’t for current and future ethnically diverse leaders and how effective the existing measures and approaches to promote equality and diversity have been?
• Ethnic diversity in the boardroom – reality, insights and recommendations.
• From trust to inclusion – practical tips and most effective strategies for integrating the Ethnicity Pay Gap initiative and The Race at Work Charter into your business routine. What has and what hasn’t worked so far?
• Examining unconscious recruitment bias, including how to make the business case for investment in people and how to overcome the issues that currently prevent the creation of opportunities for ethnically diverse talents today?

Being transparent and comfortable sharing vulnerability with the right people, in the right way, allows us to enhance not just our sense of wellbeing but also our creativity, productivity, mental resilience and the likelihood of achieving our goals.

In Just Ask, Andy Lopata will explore the change in mindset needed to embrace the support of our networks and the power of doing so. He will look at the importance of being vulnerable, what stops us from doing so, and some simple steps to share with confidence and ease.
