Neurodiversity in data & AI: rethinking high performance

What does it really take to create an environment where different ways of thinking can thrive? In this episode of Hub & Spoken, Jason Foster, CEO & Founder of Cynozure, is joined by Peter Laflin, senior data leader and former CDO at Morrisons, to explore neurodiversity in data and AI and what it means for building high performing teams. Peter explains why many strengths associated with neurodivergent thinking are particularly valuable in data and AI. From spotting patterns to thinking in systems, different ways of processing information can bring huge value to the work these teams do. The conversation also looks at strength based leadership and the importance of understanding how individuals work best. They explore where traditional recruitment processes can create barriers and the practical changes leaders can make to help people thrive. Ultimately, it is about moving away from a one size fits all approach to leadership and creating teams where different ways of thinking are recognized as a strength.
