The future of workplace diversity is not what you think, but how you think. Four years ago, the BBC’s neurodiversity initiative was created to improve awareness and understanding of hidden conditions such as Autism, Dyspraxia, Dyslexia, ADHD, to highlight not just the talents of neurodivergent people as part of a diverse workforce, but to emphasise that Diversity of Thought is a crucial part to the future success of any inclusive culture.
Move on four years and the BBC Cape team is now involved in researching a concept they call Cognitive Design, a new framework that will support different thinking and new perspectives. Join us on this intriguing journey from accessibility initiative to design research programme.
