Each technological age has been marked by a shift in how the industrial platform enables companies to rethink their business processes and create wealth. In the talk I argue that we are limiting our view of what this next industrial/digital age can offer because of how we read, measure and through that perceive the world (how we cherry pick data). Companies are locked in metrics and quantitative measures, data that can fit into a spreadsheet. And by that they see the digital transformation merely as an efficiency tool to the fossil fuel age.

How do we achieve and maintain the equality for women in our society today do...intel-writers.com
Achieving and maintaining equality for women in our society
today requires a multi-faceted approach and the collective effort of individuals, communities, and institutions.
some key strategies and actions that can contribute to this goal:
Education and awareness: Promote education and awareness about gender equality, women’s rights, and the impact of gender stereotypes and biases. This includes educating both women and men about the importance of equal opportunities and challenging societal norms that perpetuate inequality.
Policy and legislation: Advocate for and implement policies and legislation that support gender equality, including equal pay, anti-discrimination laws, and family-friendly workplace policies. It is crucial to address systemic barriers and biases that hinder women’s progress in various spheres of life.
Empowerment and leadership opportunities: Create avenues for women’s empowerment by providing access to quality education, skills development programs, and leadership training. Encouraging women’s representation in decision-making positions, such as politics, business, and academia, is vital for challenging gender imbalances.
Economic empowerment: Promote economic opportunities for women, including access to capital, entrepreneurship support, and career advancement. Addressing gender gaps in employment, income, and economic resources can contribute to greater equality.
Work-life balance and caregiving support: Implement policies that support work-life balance, such as flexible working arrangements, parental leave, and affordable childcare services. Sharing caregiving responsibilities between men and women helps challenge traditional gender roles and allows women to participate fully in both professional and personal spheres.
Challenging gender stereotypes and biases: Encourage critical thinking and challenge harmful gender stereotypes and biases that perpetuate inequality. Promote positive role models and media representation that showcase diverse and empowering images of women.

WORK BASED LEARNING
6. • Schools should develop a yearly recruitment plan that target girls for placement in WBL
opportunities.
• Recruitment and preparation of girls should be done all year round and should use
always use recruitment materials depicting diversity of individuals and occupations.

objective, interest and aptitude, and not on the basis of sex of the student.
• Schools can achieve this though career guidance (hosting career fairs with non-
traditional role models)
• Career/shop teachers should participate in the recruitment and selection of students.

• Recruit employers that comply with equal opportunity laws.

interest students in those careers.
