Round table discussions

• Dr. Christine Solf – Europe Innovation Lead Industries, Functions & Convergence | Accenture
“How to orchestrate for impact – leading in complex and ambiguous times”
‘We lead by orchestrating’ is the title of the LEAD section in our Manifesto for the #preferrredfuture of Work.Lead.Space. Accenture partners with Vitra and future of work experts to provoke, explore and shape the future ways of working, leading and using space. We co-created a Manifesto, wrote a report and continue to build a growing community as well as build the future we want. This Round Table will be a space for a radical honest conversation about orchestrating: What is the benefit ? What does it take to orchestrate? Why do I suck at doing so every so often? How to get better?

• Thomas Gigant – Senior Consultant Conversion Optimization
“Queer and Entrepreneurship: What is needed to see more Queer entrepreneurs?”
When we look around us, and especially in Germany, the world of entrepreneurship seems to be “straight white male” dominated. What would it take in terms of infrastructure, network (etc) to have more queer entrepreneurs?
HOSTED BY ACCENTURE
Accenture’s commitment to accelerating equality for all has never been more relevant than it is today – to drive our innovation agenda and act as responsible business leaders.
It enables us to attract, develop, inspire and reward top talent. And it creates an environment that unleashes innovation, allows our people to perform at their very best and underpins a culture in which everyone feels they have an equal opportunity to belong and build a career.
With the support of our Global and Local Leadership team, we focus on different I&D dimensions such as gender, ethnicity, LGBT*IQ, religion, persons with disabilities and cross-cultural diversity.
PRESENTED BY UHLALA GROUP
Since 2009, the UHLALA Group has been advocating for LGBTIQ+ people in the workplace with various projects and brands worldwide.
Through events, workshops, trainings, certifications, audits, consulting and PR, we support employers in promoting their LGBTIQ+ employees, recruiting new ones and credibly strengthening their employer branding in and outside the community.
