Programme

We believe there’s no other way for us to tackle the issues our society faces or build an inclusive economy unless we do it collaboratively, in a way that puts social value and social impact at the heart of what we do.
In this session, we’ll explore what does an inclusive economy look like, what and how can different forms of social enterprise support this?

• Duncan Thorp, Social Enterprise Scotland
• Ailsa Clark, Development Manager, lnspirAlba
• Pauline Smith, CEO, Development Trusts Association Scotland (DTAS)

To help build a more inclusive economy we need to ensure we have inclusive working practices that provide staff with strategic, operational and financial transparency and clarity.

In this session we’ll hear about models that are helping to build, strong, high-performing teams by empowering staff to make decisions and work flexibly to service clients and achieve their organisations’ objectives.

• Andy Brogan, Founder, Easier Inc.
• Gael Drummond, Deputy CEO, Firstport
• Helen Denny, Founder, Not9to5

To help make Scotland a better place to live and work by reducing inequality and building a more inclusive economy we need to ensure our organisations are inclusive.

In this session, we’ll hear from enterprises on how to strip away the fear and barriers for us to meaningfully address inclusion and diversity.

• Colin Lee, CEO, CEMVO Scotland
• Naomi Waite, Interim Employment Manager
• Lindsay Wake, Head of Impact, Social Investment Scotland
