Programming Feature: Putting Purpose at the Heart of Innovation

Who: WIN X NatWest Group
What: Putting Purpose at the Heart of Innovation
When: October 27th, 2020

At the end of October, Women in Innovation teamed up with Natwest in an interactive and informative discussion about how we can find our purpose and keep it at the centre of everything we do. 

With everything happening in the world right now, purpose is on everyone’s mind. Understanding how we can balance our need for work with our passion to do good is more important than ever before. With the help of Natwest, the first major bank to appoint a female CEO, all our questions about how we remain purposeful were answered! 

Following on from the Rose Report published in 2019 which was commissioned by Natwest CEO Alison Rose, we got the chance to see how purpose is fuelling innovation across the Natwest Group. We heard from both of our key speakers who shared wisdom and experiences on what it takes to have the mindset and skills to make a purpose-led difference within an organisation. Following on from this, we had the chance to engage in an activity, thinking about what our purpose is and how we can channel that in what we do. Natwest gave us some tools and tips on how to find our purpose and hold it at the centre of everything. 

A big thank you to our partners Natwest and key speakers Marieke Flament, CEO of Mettle, and Caroline Hass, Managing Director and Head of Sustainable Finance at NatWest Markets for hosting an insightful and interesting event. And, as always, thank you to our members for listening and participating! We hope to see you at the next event!
