Women crossing borders to leadership in Science & Technology

When following the public discussions on why the ratio of women in leadership positions is so low we often come across the argument of “women choose the wrong studies”. It looks like the glass ceiling can be broken by having more women studying Science and Technology.

The long-predicted talent gap is upon us and the leaders of today and tomorrow are in the midst of dealing with the talent challenges. Knowledge professionals, who are in ever-decreasing supply and ever-increasing demand, will drive business growth in the early twenty-first century. And these are the same workers who are irreversibly blurring the relationship between work and life and redefining what it means to build a career. Mass Career Customization (MCC) is a wake-up call and a guide for all business leaders. It provides a refreshing approach to attracting talent and strengthening leadership pipelines while providing varied and well-balanced career journeys. The approach identified four core dimensions of a career: Pace, Workload, Location, and Role.

Please join us and our corporate sponsor Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu on October 23rd at 7pm for what promises to be an unforgettable evening!
