Session Summary

Many systems and decisions are shaped around a default male, intentionally and unintentionally. When women are under-represented in data and research, real gaps appear in safety, experience and opportunity.

Taz Latif shows how women go missing in the data that shapes workplaces and society, and how bias gets built into everyday decisions.

Key Learnings

1. The gender data gap

What it is, where it comes from, and how it shows up in products, policies and workplaces.

2. Bias by design

How decisions built on incomplete data create gaps in safety, experience and opportunity for women.

3. What to do about it

How to spot the missing woman in your own data and decisions, and how to start closing the gap.

Detailed session description

Many systems and decisions are shaped around a default male, both intentionally and unintentionally. When women are under-represented in data and research, real gaps appear in safety, experience and opportunity: from medical research and car safety to the tools and policies people work with every day.

This session explores how women become missing in the data that influences workplaces and society. Using research and real examples, Taz Latif introduces the gender data gap and shows how bias can be built into everyday decisions, so that participants learn to recognise it in their own organisation and start closing it.

Before you book

Questions about The Case of the Missing Woman: Left Out of Data, Left Out by Design

Is this for beginners or for people who already know the subject?

No prior knowledge is assumed. It is built for a general working audience, and people who already know the subject get the research and the practical side rather than an introduction. What the hour itself covers: Many systems and decisions are shaped around a default male, intentionally and unintentionally. When women are under-represented in data and research, real gaps appear in safety, experience and opportunity.

Is Taz the right expert for this?

Taz Latif is one of the experts we auditioned ourselves, and we produce every session so we see how each one lands. Participants rate this session 4.3 out of 5, across 671 responses, and rate Taz personally 4.5 out of 5.

How long does it take, and what do we have to prepare?

It runs 45 min / 15 min: the talk, then live questions. All you do is pick a date. We brief Taz, produce the session, host and moderate it, run the Q&A, and send you the report within an hour of the end.

Who can join, and where does it run?

A team, a department, an employee network or every single employee at once, with no cap and no per-seat price. It runs inside your own Microsoft Teams, Zoom or Google Meet, or on a branded page we build. No integration, no login, no company device or e-mail.

Can our global colleagues follow it?

The session is delivered in English. You can add high accuracy live subtitles in 8, 16 or 24 languages, so everyone follows in their own. That is a paid option, priced by the number of languages you need.

Will our IT department have a problem with this?

No, and that is by design. There is nothing to install, nothing to integrate and no connection to your systems, so there is nothing for IT to validate: we join your own Teams, Zoom or Meet as a guest speaker, or we host a page and your people open a link. No software, no accounts, and no data of yours that we can reach. It is why hundreds of companies, among them some of the largest technology and financial firms in the world, were able to start within a day.

How does this work under GDPR?

We never receive or hold personal data about your employees. Because the session runs in your own environment, attendance and identity stay with you, and what we report back is aggregated: numbers, ratings and survey answers, not people. That is also why IT approval usually takes minutes rather than weeks.

What do we get afterwards?

You keep the recording and can share it internally. You also get attendance over time, participant ratings for the content and the speaker, the survey answers, and the topics your people asked for next.
