Speakers

Ever wondered what would happen if we built organisations without the patriarchy? Could you even imagine what balance, community, reciprocity, regeneration, love, and reciprocity would look like in a workplace? Would that be a business destined to thrive or barely survive in the current social context?

Well Clara and Kanika will be talking you through their journey as micro-businesses and female founders, and the bold steps they are taking in re-shaping their organisational approach towards Matriarchy.

This is set to be a thought-provoking, honest and reflective discussion between two entrepreneurs, as they navigate alternative ways of working, culture design and inclusion, while acknowledging that bills need to be paid.

Kanika is Managing Director of Beetroot Consulting. Her organisation works to a tech for good mission, empowering clients to make decisions that unlock the benefits of technology for their organisation.

She works across multiple sectors, from energy retail and telecoms to higher education, housing associations, social enterprises, tech start-ups and small charities, adapting to different workplace cultures, drivers and practices. She combines her cross-sector adaptability with her background in leading both technical change and people change.

She is also a professional speaker and a board member, creating challenging thought leadership and championing diversity and inclusion on topics specifically in the areas of change management, technology, leadership, and innovation.
