From Program to Process: Designing Equitable Organizations & Products

How many organizations, processes, and products are poorly designed or produce real-world harm because the right voices weren't let into the room where the building...happens? How much money has been spent on “diversity & inclusion” while companies remain homogenous and underrepresented employees struggle to thrive? A lack of progress has left almost everyone with “diversity fatigue”. We need a new human-centered and data-informed approach to finally move the needle, enlisting each of us to step up to design the equitable world we all dream of.

Designing Equitable Artificial Intelligence

As artificial intelligence (AI) takes over more and more aspects of our work and personal lives, how does it impact the way we and others–especially those from marginalized backgrounds–are treated? With the rise of large language models (LLMs) trained on highly biased datasets and those writing algorithms lacking the lived experience and formal education to understand how and to what extent their creations are introducing, perpetuating, and exacerbating social and institutional biases, we are at a crossroads. Join The Mathpath, Aubrey Blanche-Sarellano, for a deep dive into what the potential future of a machine-enabled world can look like, and walk away with practical ideas about how we can ensure that leaning into technology can create a fairer, more equitable future.

Doing Data: How to (Legally) Leverage Information to Build an Equitable Organization

There is more interest–and more pushback–than ever about how identity impacts employees’ experience at work, and how companies support people from underrepresented groups and those from marginalized backgrounds. Most people know that they have to start with the data, but might not know how (or whether they’re allowed to). Aubrey Blanche-Sarellano has spent years working with organizations around the world to build strategies that advance the cause of equity within the workplace, with a special focus on collecting, analyzing, and using data to make informed decisions about the best ways to drive positive change. In a changing and highly-charged environment, even the most convicted leaders might wonder how to move forward. In this talk, Blanche-Sarellano lays out an effective, legal framework to develop a data-backed approach to equitable organizational transformation.
