BIMA Masterclass | Neurodiversity: how to embrace differently wired brains

BIMA Members Only

The 3rd Tuesday of every month is the regular spot for BIMA’s popular masterclass programme – offering digital professionals practical solutions that can be used within the workplace.

What?

A topic on everyone’s radar right now, neurodiversity has the potential to be a key ingredient to the success of digital – both in our teams and our services and products – but how do you embrace differently wired brains?

Join Lynn Pilkington and Angela Prentner-Smith from This is Milk for this 90-minute, interactive masterclass to understand what neurodiversity means for you, and your people, and how it can drive innovation in 2022.

What will you learn?

By the end of this masterclass your takeaways and key learnings will include:

– A comprehensive overview of what neurodiversity is,

– Understanding the benefits, and barriers, of embracing neurodiversity,

– What it means to work in a neurodiverse team (using This is Milk as a case study to explore a real life example),

– How embracing neurodiversity can positively impact the future of the digital industry (supported by a case study of a digital platform being developed with neurodiversity at its core) .

Who is it for?

This session is aimed at sector and team leaders who want to learn more about how embracing neurodiversity can not only positively impact your own team, but the future of the digital industry as a whole.

This hands- on, interactive masterclass is designed for BIMA Members only. Don’t miss out as spaces are limited. Sign up now.
