035 David Mbaziira founder of Okusoka on building a powerful business case for diversity & inclusion as part of The Culture Club - Conversation No 5

Good Leaders with Stephen George

In this episode, Stephen George talks to David Mabaziira from Okusoka, a consultancy working with sectors and organisations to co-create inclusive cultures. David is a passionate advocate for all areas of diversity and inclusion. David has over 22 years’ experience as a communications practitioner and is a member of the Institute of Fundraising’s Expert Advisory Panel on Equality, Diversity and Inclusion.

The Culture Club started as a panel session at IFC in October 2018 and was followed up by a panel session at AFP Toronto 2018. The sessions looked at how organisations build and support amazing cultures, encouraging the personalities of individuals and the organisations to emerge and that allows people to connect and align with core values and messages. This series on the Good Leaders Podcast continues that exploration, looking at the barriers and opportunities in a great culture, how power can make or break a culture, the impacts on fundraising, how brand can help or hinder, on aspiration, the behaviours needed and how to build a place where the culture becomes the catalyst for great work and change.
