A Design Thinking and Creativity Framework to Promote Justice & Equity at Your Company

Looking forward to this session? Share it!

Most conversations we have about diversity, social justice, and inclusion work surround the adoption of best practices and replication of strategies that have worked elsewhere. But little is discussed at the outset about how these strategies fit our employees and audiences, and what adaptations will be needed for our game plans to feel “at home” at our organizations.

Using the design thinking model and a creativity framework developed by Amma, participants will have a greater understanding of what institutional knowledge, creative thinking, and a commitment to exploration can do to promote justice and equity both internally and externally at our companies - and will get to test these strategies out with real issues within their organization.

By the end of the session, participants will:

• develop a greater understanding of the concepts of equity, justice, and cultural humility - and why they serve us better than "Smaller" ideas of diversity and inclusion
• cultivate confidence in applying principles of creativity to infusing their areas of influence with equity and justice
• find new resources for ensuring their work meets standards of equity and justice
