Policy vs Practice: How Diversity Sparks Innovation
With a successful career in the defence, security and ICT sectors delivering technology based solutions and services, Christine Zeitz, the CEO of Leidos Australia, will discuss practical measures to build and develop a talented multidisciplinary workforce. Set against the back drop of scarce engineering resources and low participation rate of women in engineering in Australia, she will outline some approaches to address these challenges.
Christine will draw on her experience as the CEO of a technology/engineering based company to discuss the links between a diverse workforce and innovation and how to narrow the gap between policy and practice. She will discuss the important role of leaders in establishing the right settings to promote diversity and put rhetoric into action.
