Speaker
Abstract
Using real world examples, Lisa Gelobter will explore how we really can use technology to make the change we want to see in the world. From healthcare to education to workplace culture and from public sector to private, we will look at how to use the same best practices, innovative strategies, and a product development approach to affect societal and systemic level change.
Interview
I am the CEO and founder of tEQuitable and we are using technology to make workplaces more equitable. Our mission is to help companies and organizations make work cultures that work for everyone. We are an employee-centered sounding board to address workplace interpersonal conflict, microaggressions, and micro-inequities. We also provide data to organizations to identify systemic issues within their culture.
What I'd love to do is open up the audience's eyes to the world of possibility and think about how one can harness technology and take the skills that they use today to make an impact on a societal and systemic level and have significant impact at scale.
The people who will benefit from it or who I'd love to benefit from it are senior engineering talent, leadership and folks who are interested in affecting real change.
I would love folks to fully grasp that you can use the same principles, innovative strategies, and product development approaches that are used in your typical product development lifecycle to solve big hairy societal issues as well.
