Session: Inclusive Practices in Project Management: Leveraging Digital Frameworks for Diverse Minds

In today’s rapidly evolving digital landscape, the integration of inclusive practices in project management is not just a necessity, but also a catalyst for innovative transformation. As an autistic, ADHD, and disabled advocate specialising in digital transformation, my presentation will delve into inclusive project management. We will explore how diverse cognitive experiences, such as those of neurodivergent individuals, can profoundly enrich digital frameworks, fostering environments where creativity and efficiency coalesce. Drawing on my extensive work in developing digital frameworks, I will demonstrate how these structures can be tailored to accommodate various needs, ensuring that every team member can contribute to their fullest potential. This talk aims to provide actionable insights and strategies for embedding inclusivity into the fabric of project management, thereby unlocking the new dimensions of productivity and innovation in the digital sphere.
