About the discussion
Our expert panel will tackle "The Triple Effect," examining how unconscious bias influences:
- The Great Wealth Transfer: Generational wealth is undergoing a significant shift, with an increasing number of women inheriting this wealth. We'll discuss how unconscious bias impacts the financial sector, necessitating a shift in existing banking practices and a change in approach for wealth managers to retain family wealth within their organizations.
- Female Entrepreneurship: With a surge in female founders, particularly among millennials, we'll explore how unconscious bias financially hinders female entrepreneurs, the profound economic impact they have, and the crucial support systems they require to thrive.
- Business: Unconscious bias has a significant impact on business strategy and operations. Organizations often impede their strategic growth by failing to address embedded unconscious biases within their operational activities.
Patricia M. Montesinos, President of FE+MALE Think Tank, will introduce each of these topics with supporting research, setting the stage for an engaging discussion. Following her presentations, our moderator, Kaitlin Barbier, Project Manager at FE+MALE Think Tank, will facilitate a Q&A session with our esteemed panelists, delving deeper into the nuances of each topic.
We'll also introduce the BFBI offering as a practical solution for organizations to address and mitigate unconscious bias. The event will conclude with an interactive Q&A session and dedicated networking time, allowing you to connect with speakers and fellow attendees.
