Registration is now closed (this event already took place).
Details
Breaking the Mold is an initiative aimed at creating a safe space on campus for open dialogue about unconscious biases, with the expressed purpose of helping students and the community develop approaches to managing these biases in the classroom, workplace and board room.
This year, we are are focused on structural biases - recognising that unconscious biases have been built into the policies that organisations design. We ask: what is our accountability as "principled, innovative leaders who improve the world" (MIT's Sloan's mission) in building and sustaining organisations that are wholly inclusive and allow employees to bring their true selves to work?
