While some of the older, more established IT companies are trying to make a difference, the IT industry is still a pre-dominantly white male domain.
In every industry where the work-force has shifted – often over a thirty year period – from severely limited diversity to a divers work-force, you’ll find that both productivity as well as profitability has increased.
Taking into account the enormous shortage of IT professionals world-wide, the time has come to accelerate this much-needed shift.
In this talk we’ll look at some of the psychological and sociological aspects which inhibit the change to a more diverse workforce in the IT industry. But we don’t stop there: we all are in a unique position to contribute to this change, so let’s discuss what each of us can do today to move towards a healthier and more economically sane industry.
