Courtney Burkhart VP Technology Services EMEA & Oceania at Wallenius Wilhelmsen	How can female leaders provide a supportive & encouraging environment for other women in a male dominated industry? Many women use survival techniques to cope and continue working in traditional male dominated industries. Some are fortunate enough to have resources such as mentorship and supportive personnel to help them navigate this challenging environment. I will speak about the tools I have used in my career and the steps that I am taking to ensure that future female leaders are able to work in a safe and supportive environment while still being true to themselves and being accepted simply as they are. No woman should need to ‘adapt’ simply to be accepted based on her capabilities. Did you… read more

Shefali Mishra post-graduate student of Master's in Education and Technology at University College London	Technology in Education: Playing a responsible role Technology plays a key role in defining how we socialize, work, travel and even learn. But has it attained its maximum potential especially when it comes to access and inclusion in education, primarily around including women? The heavy influence of technology on our society puts a larger onus on edtech players to design technology responsibly- considering inclusion, ethics and access. In this session, we will reflect on the larger vision of why technology was initially introduced in education (such as MOOCs) to bridge the digital divide, increase access and quality and how can this be… read more
Jennifer Bryan Director of Change and Leadership at ABChange Consultancy	Building Resilience in a Changing Environment A McKinsey report states that in 1958, the lifespan of organizations on the S&P was 60 years, now it is 12; and in 2027, 75% of organizations listed on S&P will not exist. This clearly illustrates the imperative for organizations to change and adapt or die. The degree of complexity and uncertainty will continue to increase making leading change tricky and feel bewildering, particularly when faced with so many unknowns. The global pandemic has taught us the critical need to plan for change differently. Using a holistic leadership approach allows for the application of… read more
