In recent times organisations have become  tuned-in to the advantages of gender and culture diversity, but  diversity of mind has remained largely overlooked or regarded as too complex.

Unlock Innovation Ltd is focussed on dyslexia, the most commonly occurring neurodiversity.   It is estimated that 20% of global citizens have been disempowered and often marginalised by society’s  lack of understanding.

Dyslexia is commonly viewed as a deficit, but we have set out to demonstrate that, in a world hungry for innovation, the dyslexic mind is capable of making a huge contribution to our ability to survive and thrive in  challenging  times.

Tasneem Gould talks with co-founder Unlock Innovation, Dorenda Britten and we introduce Rachael Hurren of Inde Technology, a programme research partner.
