This session will confront the realities of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) through the lens of Supercell’s 4-Pillar DEI strategy. In a world marked by constant upheaval and shifting dynamics, we recognize that DEI efforts are often met with skepticism and resistance. At Supercell, we’re committed to addressing these challenges head-on, not with empty promises, but by candidly sharing both our progress and our setbacks.This isn’t about repeating feel-good messages. It’s about confronting difficult truths and challenging assumptions.

Takeaway

We invite you to critically examine your approach to diversity, face the discomfort that meaningful change demands, and engage in a genuine dialogue about progress. Be ready to question, reflect, and reconsider. Together, we’ll explore how evolving perspectives can drive real, lasting inclusion, and how Supercell is navigating the complexities of today’s landscape.

Intended Audience

This session is for studio or company thought leaders and influencers who are eager to build stronger and more adaptive teams without falling back on popular trends, and that are ready to embrace the discomfort needed to drive real value for the business and employees.
