Description

The summer hiatus continues and  I’m making some exciting updates to the podcast. I can’t wait to share them!

In the meantime I’ve got another awesome replay of  one of my favorite episodes featuring John Higginson, formerly CTO at Chief. He is now at Curriculum Associates, and in addition to his role John is also a tech advisor to the board of directors of several organizations and a member, investor, and advisor with Hyde Park Angels.

“[Things] have changed some, but if you look at technology teams at most companies in America, it still skews quite a bit to male and white,” John Higginson remarks. “There has been progress, but there’s still a lot of way to go.”

In this replay we talk about:

• What has changed in the 10 years since a 2014 study that showed 70% of tech teams in North America were white and male.
• The data for embracing more diverse teams - from creativity and problem solving, to productivity and innovation.
• The opportunities to disrupt the way we think about and do things in technology (and other) organizations.
• Practices you can embed to make diversity a part of your company’s culture
