The intrinsic link between innovation and diversity Alastair Kane Zayo
Alastair Kane, managing director for Zayo Northern Europe, believes there is an intrinsic link between the type of innovation that saw recent disruptive tech startups transform people’s everyday lives, and the journey to achieving greater diversity.
Having an inherent understanding of such innovation – simply through regular interaction with the technology – urges people to think differently, he says. And further encouraging new ways of thinking – through initiatives like flexible working and tools that gives employees confidence to speak up – enables diversity to flourish in the workplace.
