Methods For Creating Social Change & Value

EDI training often focuses on rules, risk and unconscious bias, but that can leave people feeling defensive, anxious or unclear about the purpose of inclusion. In this video, Dr. Chris Owen argues that organisations need to start with the “why”: systems of oppression exist, and they are often invisible to those who benefit from them. You will learn why workplace inclusion initiatives can fail when people do not understand how privilege, class, opportunity and inequality operate. The video introduces four areas where oppression can be seen: institutions, bureaucracy, cultural belief systems and interpersonal relationships. By understanding these systems more clearly, organisations can create inclusion work that is more meaningful, effective and connected to real change.

Who’s It For?

This is for anyone involved in EDI, leadership, learning, culture change or organisational development. It will help you move beyond compliance-based inclusion and better understand the structures, assumptions and everyday behaviours that shape people’s lived experiences at work.
