ONLINE | APRIL – MAY 2021
Evolving your organisation’s DNA
Organisations that can understand and decode their Employer DNA are those that will adapt and thrive in an ever changing environment. But where do you begin?
Through four interactive virtual streams, you will learn how to make more informed decisions – based on scientific insights – to deliver real transformation within your organisation.
Every stream is free to attend. You and your leadership team can register to enjoy the full virtual event or choose the most relevant streams.
Who should attend?
The event will bring together senior-level professionals who participate in strategic and operational decision-making and are a driving force for change in their organisation, including those who manage risk, people, culture, finance and technology.
The DNA Experience has been designed with a holistic, integrated approach in mind. Leaders from different strands of a business are therefore encouraged to attend together to derive the biggest organisational benefit.
Stream one: 28 April | 10 - 11.30 am
Unlocking Employer DNA
Dr. Robert Plomin, our Keynote Speaker, will kick-off the conference by discussing how the DNA revolution will transform science, society and the way we understand ourselves.
We’ll then focus on the importance of looking at your organisation through a scientific lens — to unlock its DNA — enabling your business to thrive during these challenging, fast changing times.
Our panel of experts will discuss some of the key challenges that are facing businesses, including organisational culture and D&I, decision making in uncertainty and the future direction of business.
You’ll have an opportunity to share some of the biggest risks your organisation is facing and to hear about the key issues that other attendees are currently dealing with.

Stream two: 5 May | 10 - 11.15 am
Empowering Diversity & Inclusion
The culture of an organisation is key to defining what makes it unique. In this stream we’ll explore the importance of Diversity and Inclusion (D&I) in creating a positive employee experience. We’ll examine how building the right culture enables an organisation to evolve and to flourish.
Learn how genuine D&I is more than just “talking the talk.” You’ll see what tangible steps are needed in order to embed D&I authentically into your workplace and culture. And you’ll understand how true diversity and inclusion in the workplace creates innovation.
Plus, using the power of data analytics, we’ll discuss pay gap analysis and reporting, and investigate how to practically interpret your data to better understand and address your pay gap. You’ll learn how to assess what is causing a pay gap and whether this is due to discrimination.

Adapting decisions in uncertainty
Covid-19 has created considerable short term uncertainty and longer term challenges for businesses. This stream will help strengthen your ability to make more informed decisions, enabling your organisation to evolve in the most effective way.
Major Gareth Tennant shares what he learned about the links between leadership, culture and strategy from his career in the military. He uses his experiences to help executives adapt their leadership and management styles, in order to build resilient and adaptive organisations.
You’ll also hear from Louis Rosenberg PhD, who has developed a new form of AI based on the biological principles of Swarm Intelligence — which empowers any group to maximise their combined knowledge, wisdom, insights and intuitions. There will also be a live demo of this technology.

Evolving your Employer DNA
The working environment is changing and operating models will be challenged as businesses adapt. In our final stream we will identify the issues that will affect businesses over the long term, so you know the steps you need to take now — in order for your business to thrive.
This stream will look at the traits that future-ready organisations share with leading athletes. You’ll obtain three takeaway tips to help make your organisation more agile and more effective.
With the gradual lifting of lockdown restrictions, business leaders across operations, finance, HR and other areas will need to understand the impact of changing work and commuting patterns.
Learn how this links to your wider sustainability agenda, including developing long-term scenarios and effective communications for your path to net zero emissions.

Registration - The DNA Experience
"I really enjoy the crispness of your virtual conferences, and the ability to focus on gaining fresh insights on the topics you are presenting."
Our actuarial expertise
Our heritage in actuarial science means we are ideally placed to examine the DNA profile of a business. We go deeper than simply extracting, analysing and interpreting data. Our approach involves getting under the skin of a business and bringing information to the surface – unlocking an organisation's DNA.
By turning this information into insights and actions, we can help your organisation to grow and to flourish. It’s an approach we’ve used in our own strategic and operational development – and one which has helped us to thrive over the past 30 years.
