COVID-19 has changed how we live and work—and along with it, the kinds of companies and services we use.

We talk with leaders who harnessed the energy of this new world order to better understand what we can learn from their success stories.
Hosted by Accenture

Who works at a company is key to making progress, but so is the work itself. How can the design of both project teams and products and services drive equality? We examine how to promote inclusivity throughout a company’s operations—from hiring and recruiting to business development and project execution
