The 17%: Addressing the diversity challenge in tech
November 2017
This event brought together the ambitions of LBG Banking Group, WIBF and Digital Leaders. The event combined Digital Leader’s theme of building the nation’s Digital DNA, WIBF’s solution-oriented approach and LBG’s combined commitments to Digital Transformation and increasing the number of women in senior roles to 40% by 2020. The UK still has a lot of work to do as recent research revealed only 17% of employees in the UK tech sector are women.
This event was an opportunity to re-examine the ‘leadership capabilities’ we’ll need for this world of transformation.
