The public sector doesn’t just serve the public; it shapes the environment in which we all live and work. Which makes it fundamental to determining the future of EDI. Following our viral session, "Why We’re Quitting EDI," we are narrowing our lens to the public sector.
‍
Is the Public Sector Equality Duty (PSED) a burden or a blueprint for innovation? In this 60-minute session, we move past the surface-level "business case" to explore the foundational economics of inclusion. We will discuss why the long-term cost of exclusion, the "long tail" of harm, is a debt / externality the public sector can no longer afford to carry.

> The Economic Rationale: Why EDI is a "public good" in the same vein as infrastructure and health.
> Smart Procurement: How to use spending power to drive equity without compromising on quality.
> Leadership & Innovation: Why the most innovative public bodies are those that treat EDI as a risk-mitigation and value-creation tool.
>The Long Run: How to build interventions that are too effective to be reversed by political or budgetary shifts.
