2018 International Women's Day Forum 2018 International Women’s Day Forum 9 March 2018 Hosted at: 2018 International Women’s Day Forum 1 In celebration of International Women’s Day (IWD), A.T. Kearney, American Express, and NatWest are delighted to welcome you to our annual 2018 IWD Forum. Hosted by RocketSpace, this event gives participants an opportunity to connect and collab- orate to advance the gender diversity agenda in the spirit of IWD’s central theme of Press for Progress. Despite legislation and a worldwide commitment to gender equality by both the public and private sectors, according to The Global Gender Gap Report by the World Economic Forum, “at the current rate of progress, the overall global gender gap in the workplace will now not be closed for 217 years”—an increase from 170 years predicted in previous reports. Although companies and governments are taking action, the question remains: is gender parity now moving in reverse? The IWD Forum give participants an opportunity to listen to insights from senior executives from a wide range of companies and to network and share experiences with a senior audience of like-minded peers. During this event, we will examine what culture, processes, principles, and attitudes are effective and how we can apply them to achieve greater gender parity in the workplace. We are in a new age of gender parity, but are we doing our part? Now is the time for progress. 2018 International Women’s Day Forum 1 Agenda 08:00–09:00 a.m. Registration and Welcome Breakfast 09:00–09:15 a.m. Opening Remarks Priya Guha, Ecosystem General Manager, RocketSpace UK Tulsi Narayan, Principal, Financial Services, A.T. Kearney 09:15–10:00 a.m. Change in the Boardroom and Beyond Johan Aurik, Managing Partner and Chairman of the Board, A.T. Kearney Emma Cerrone, Co-Founder, Partner, and Board Director, Freeformers Interviewed by: Tulsi Narayan, Principal, Financial Services, A.T. Kearney Women remain significantly underrepresented in leadership roles across all industries. For gender parity to be accomplished throughout our organizations, change needs to occur from the top down. Since the launch of the 30% Club, the ratio of female to male board members in the UK has risen exponentially accordingly to the latest WEF report, yet a vast imbalance remains. Is this a case of a generation gap or a gender gap? What should the priorities of our boards be, and how can we help create change? Advocating for women is different from empowering women—do you need to do both or just one for us to reach gender parity? How do we obtain a key to the C-suite? 10:00–10:45 a.m. Fourth Industrial Revolution: As Traditional Moves Out, How Do We Ensure We Remain In? Caterina Kostoula, Former Global Agency Business Leader, Google; Executive Coach and Founder of The Leaderpath Helen Page, Group Innovation & Marketing Director, CYBG Catherine Pearce, Global Operations and Business Change Director, Oxford University Press Moderated by Ramyani Basu, Senior Principal, Digital Transformation and Head of the London Women’s Network, A.T. Kearney With the arrival of the Fourth Industrial Revolution, many uncertainties exist on whether the gender gap will widen, close, or remain indifferent. As the pace of technological change accelerates, new jobs are being created in place of old and skill gaps are increasing. While new jobs increasingly require a technology component, there is also a greater demand for emotional intelligence to complement artificial intelligence. The Fourth Industrial Revolution is just the most recent example of the need for an adaptation of skills and abilities. As automation and machine learning increase, how can we better prepare ourselves to ensure we are best placed to take advantage of the potential opportunities? Do we need to look at reinventing and reeducating ourselves so our skills are more current, and if so, where do we start? How do we navigate the uncertainties of the Fourth Industrial Revolution? 2018 International Women’s Day Forum 2 Agenda 10:45–11:15 a.m. Coffee Break 11:15 a.m.–12:00 p.m. Closing the Gap: What’s on the Agenda? Heather P. Melville OBE, CCMI, JP, Director Strategic Partnerships – Head of Business Inclusion Initiatives, Commercial & Private Banking, RBS Maureen Penfold, Managing Partner, Kingston Smith Moderated by: Sophia Skinner, Vice President & General Manager, American Express Travel & Lifestyle Services, American Express Over the past five years we have noticed a decisive shift in boards, with a plethora of doctrines, schemes, and programs to influence and support gender diversity and ensure equality in the workplace. Companies are responding, but are they responding fast enough? According to the latest WEF Gender Gap Report it is now expected to take 217 years to close the gap rather than the previously predicted 170 years. While a gap of that magnitude requires a much more significant collaboration and discussion between the public and private sector, how can we ourselves support and drive the agenda back on course? Should internal metrics be devised to look at wage gaps and career development opportunities? Should mentoring programs be a requirement rather than a rarity for both genders to lessen the risk of silos between the men and women? How can we increase dialogue and collabora- tions to support the diversity agenda and equally empower both genders? 12:00–12:45 p.m. Unconscious Biases: How Do You Embed Gender Parity into the Culture? Tim J. Ehinger, SVP and Chief Counsel, International and General Counsel’s Organization, American Express Rehmah Kasule, Vital Voices Lead Fellow and President and Founder of Century Entrepreneurship Development Agency–CEDA International Nigyar Makhmudova, President of Global Pet Nutrition, Mars Petcare and Member of Global Petcare Executive Team Moderated by Kos Apostolatos, Partner and Global Head of Strategic & Top-Line Transformation, A.T. Kearney Across all industries, we are still witnessing deeply entrenched gender stereotypes. In the media we are being advised simultaneously both to “lean in” and “lean out” in order to correct the imbalance and advance our agendas. Our societies and businesses are still at the table on best practices to resolve the current gender inequality, so how can we expedite the process and shift centuries-old cultural perceptions? Where are the opportunities for change? How can we shake off stereotypes in the workplace and level the playing field? 12:45–1:00 p.m. Closing Remarks Tulsi Narayan, Principal, Financial Services, A.T.

    Sylvana Caloni Collected writings WIBF President June 2011-June 2014 WIBF Head of Personal Excellence Programme May 2007- June 2011 1 Reprints of President’s messages, reviews, interviews and articles in the WIBF magazine, brochures and newsletters. September-December 2014 Power Shift 2014 Women and Finance As President of WIBF, I attended the Power Shift 2014 conference held on 27-29th May. I was a guest of Professor Peter Tufano, Dean of Saïd Business School University of Oxford. The conference participants are actively engaged in efforts to enable women as economic agents. There were 200 women and men including entrepreneurs, academics, consultants and representatives from global corporations, financial institutions, governments, foundations, charities and multilateral agencies. At the outset one of the participants1 shared with me that she was disheartened that women had made so little progress over decades and that we were still debating the same old issues. Another very senior businesswoman said given her own experience she “just didn’t get this women’s thing” until she saw the research. Now she is a vocal advocate for women’s inclusion and actively funds women entrepreneurs. As the conference got underway the commitment and dedication of the participants energised me and strengthened my resolve to make changes. The information sharing ranged from a reception at the Ashmolean Museum on Women and the Origins of Money, large formal presentations, a keynote address by Musimbi Kanyoro, CEO and President of Global Fund for Women, roundtable conversations, small workshops, a humorous and impassioned debate on “The City is no place for a Lady” aswell as lively conversations over networking sessions.
