Here are some key takeaways from this episode
2020 will see poor management of data
“We’re going to see organisations asking the wrong questions and getting poor quality data. Asking people if they think the organisation is inclusive is not a reliable measure of inclusion, it measures what people think but don’t forget a lot of underrepresented voices will be lost if you’re not careful about how you collect and analyse this data”
2020 will see a focus on intersectional individuals
“I think there’s going to be a need for organisations to treat people as multicultural individuals with intersectional identities. Organisations are going to realise that we all have an ethnic identity, we all have a class background, we all have a sexual orientation even though for many these are never discussed because they are taken for granted as being “normal”
2020 will see powerful insights from mixed methods research
“Not enough researchers use qualitative and qualitative research, and organisations should do both.. it shouldn’t come as a surprise that I do both,
Knowledge of the lived experience, brings the numbers to life and it holds the figures to account.”
