Twins Talk Tech Leadership Episode 3: tEquity = Technology Equity
What are ways that organizations can both promote and obtain equity in the workplace? For diversity practices to be successful, we have to think beyond any checking of boxes. We need to allocate more resources, increase developmental budgets and obtain equal pay. We need to create tech inclusion initiatives that lead to lasting organizational change. We need more DEI Champions!
William A. Adams, a Tech Advisor, Technologist and Founder of The William A. Adams Group speaks about the importance of being advocates for diversifying and leveraging technology to build wealth - to create tEquity. tEquity is about leveraging technology to build true equity. Hear about his time as Technical Advisor to the CTO at Microsoft, his award winning LEAP program and The EV3NT, a community-based hackathon designed to solve real-world problems.
He is passionate about finding and developing talent. He is focused on creating “the Motown of tech”, by bringing talent, finances and a depth of networks to create economic opportunity and technology companies for women and minorities. He also puts forth the call to think of creating generational wealth and to bridge the gap by “owning a piece of the technology.”
