Scrubbing In for Sustainability: Why Hospitals Must Clean Up Their Act Nov 20, 2024

When you think of major sources of pollution, hospitals probably don't come to mind. But the shocking truth is that the healthcare industry has an enormous environmental footprint, contributing around 4.8% of global CO2 emissions, more than the airline and shipping sectors combined! On today’s ‘Tech Talks’, we dive into the reasons behind healthcare's oversized carbon footprint with Dr. Atul Gupta, Chief Medical Officer Diagnosis and Treatment at Philips. From disposable waste like syringes and tubing, to energy-guzzling equipment like MRI machines and operating rooms, hospitals are major polluters that can't be ignored. Dr. Gupta shares insights from Philips' partnership with a leading cancer institute in Lisbon that has committed to slashing its emissions by 50% over 5 years. We explore innovative strategies like eco-design principles, reprocessing medical devices, and reducing use of precious resources like helium.

Beyond the Diversity Checklist: Embedding True Inclusion in the Workplace Oct 28, 2024

Too often, companies approach diversity and inclusion as a box to check rather than a core value to embed throughout their organizations. In today’s episode of ‘Tech Talks’ we celebrate and observe Black History Month with a discussion; professionals from tech, law, and business analysis fields share their candid experiences navigating corporate spaces as underrepresented minorities.

David hands over the hosting duties to Harvey Nash’s Emmanuel Sackey, who leads the conversation as a member of the community. Together he and our guests highlight the pivotal role mentors played in their journeys and the importance of companies promoting diverse talent into true leadership roles. They also openly discuss the mental health toll of having to "code-switch" identities and repress authentic selves in professional settings.

The conversation provides a reality check that diversity isn't achieved through superficial initiatives like culture celebrations alone. True inclusion requires examining policies, language, supplier diversity and leadership makeup. Lasting change happens by creating environments where all feel empowered to show up fully as themselves.

There is powerful advice about developing resilience, reframing rejection as "next opportunity", and getting comfortable with being uncomfortable on the path to progress. It’s an eye-opening listen for leaders committed to advancing meaningful inclusion as an organizational imperative.

Exploring AI: Responsible Use and Hallucinations with Rebecca Parsons Jul 29, 2024
