SUMMARY:ICG Training: Comfort and Delusion in Perpetuating Racism
DESCRIPTION:This session was kindly sponsored by Web Creator Suite and Teneo Translations \nTHIS SESSION TOOK PLACE IN DECEMBER 2020. A SHORT SUMMARY OF IT IS HERE.  \nIF YOU WOULD LIKE TO PURCHASE THE FULL RECORDING OF THE SESSION (£10)\, CONTACT LUCIE ON MANAGER@THEICG.CO.UK \n  \nChris Arning of Creative Semiotics Ltd  and Asif Noorani of Epiphany Productions\, will take ICG members through a session to encourage better awareness and empathy when dealing with issues around racism in their work and lives. Chris and Asif are communication professionals who come with a unique background – effectively they are both inside and outside of mainstream white British culture which means that they won’t duck the issues but will come at it with a nuance and sensitivity that transcends the unhelpfully polarised nature of mainstream media discourse. \nMore tangibly\, the uniqueness of the session will the fact they will weave together and share their own experiences\, and then ground these in a specialist knowledge of Semiotics and Behavioural Economics\, finally opening up the discussion for participants’ own experiences and thoughts. \nThe session will not just be educational but should lead to commercial benefits that include: \n\nBetter\, less biased overall decision making by overcoming Comfort and Delusion\nEncourage awareness across all aspects of business (clients\, colleagues\, respondents)\nHigher value derived from more collaborative\, diverse projects and organisations.\nEnsure more inclusive communication that caters to and attracts more diversity\nCan lead to the ICG publishing a diversity policy that shows its commitment to this.\n\nOur speakers will be setting out two hypotheses about how racist thinking becomes perpetuated in well-meaning people\, each rooted in an area of expertise. The Comfort Hypothesis\, rooted in behavioural economics and The Delusion Hypothesis rooted in semiotics.   What you’re getting in this session is the distillation of combined 40 years work in each of these areas. The speakers also bring their background and lived experience not only as British People of Colour\, but as private school educated insight professionals\, and self-employed consultants. Their methodology and approach will be challenging while constructive (not accusatory)\, conceptual but personal\, and above all human\, since no panaceas exist for this. \nThis will be more than just a webinar to raise awareness\, awareness is higher than it has ever been. Though there are no easy fixes though we will learn about immediate steps we can take to identify\, acknowledge and overcome the empathy gap\, address it and start to nudge behaviours. \nAbove all our speakers look forward to sharing knowledge but also learning from your experiences in and around this still taboo societal issue. \nChris Arning  \n \nChris the son of a Caribbean born mother and Anglo-Irish-German father born in Manchester. Chris is Brit-ish and grew up in London politically black but was raised culturally white\, which was confusing and which if he’d been born in another country might have led to the Presidency. In the UK he has had to settle for being a ‘poor man’s Richard Ayoade! Chris writes poetry\, does stand-up comedy\, runs Creative Semiotics\, teaches Contextual Studies and is a member of #HipHopEd. He has conducted semiotic studies on cultural identity for the BBC including for 1Xtra. He recently reviewed #BlackOutTuesday responses for trends house Canvas 8 and has been writing and blogging on race and representation since the #BlackLivesMatter movement. \nAsif Noorani \n \nAsif Noorani is the son of immigrant Pakistani Muslim parents.  Growing up in Manchester\, he managed to disappoint everyone by not becoming a doctor.  His lived experience of the  second-generation culture clash\, fed an appetite to embrace the unknown\, find patterns of meaning and share stories through film.  Asif heads up Epiphany Productions where as a behavioural economist and storyteller he has worked with organisations including NHS\, BBC\, Home Office\, Arts Council\, and the Digital Democracy Commission to explore and tackle diversity and inclusion challenges. The burning question in all his work right now is whether after the pandemic and George Floyd’s killing\, we will make good on our good intentions? \n

SUMMARY:ICG Webinar: IR35 And Its Effect On All Off Payroll Workers\, Contract And Temporary Workers
DESCRIPTION:This webinar is generously sponsored by Perspective Research Services  \nWith advice from Cognitive Law and specialist knowledge from governing body ASPCo\, ENI have produced some information on IR35 and the legislative changes coming in April 2020. \nIR35 should be coming into effect for the private sector on April 6th 2020. How much do you know about it and its effect on you? \nThis webinar aims to cover the basics of IR35\, how the upcoming developments may affect contractors and companies\, situations in which you’d fall into IR35 and when you’d be exempt from it\, and how contract work commissioned by larger companies may be affected. \nA webinar for anyone who contracts their services out to other organisations. \nThis webinar will be run by Liz Norman of recruitment specialists Elizabeth Norman International. Liz cares passionately about our industry and has been struck over the last months with how few contractors know anything about this legislation. She believes that the legislation may have the following effects; \n\nIt may create a very divided market for freelancers/contractors\, as they will only be able to work in the traditional way for ‘small’ companies and agencies.\nMedium and large companies including large consultancies and the end client may stop using contractors and freelancers altogether.\nThe other option will be large companies give the work they are currently commissioning to contractors to contractors through a recruitment consultancy or umbrella company\, or take them on as permanent employees (which is the option a couple of the large research agencies are looking at)\n\nMore about Liz Norman \n \nLiz Norman is the Founder and CEO of Elizabeth Norman International\, which specialises in recruiting both permanent and contract roles for the market research\, data and insight industry. With over 30 years’ knowledge of the industry\, Liz has partnered with a number of leading industry bodies\, as well as working as a mentor to both individuals and clients. \nRegister for this important\, free\, webinar here\n  \n \n
