Does the Tech Industry Need a Reboot?

Although we’ve seen great successes come out of the
technology sector in recent decades, many critics — and
even some insiders — say it’s due for an overhaul. As a
longtime Silicon Valley engineer and executive and cofounder
of the Grace Hopper Celebration of Women in Computing
conference, Telle Whitney argues that tech culture is still
too closed-off and unwelcoming to different points of view, which
leads to products and services that aren’t as good as
they could be — for consumers and society. She thinks
the industry — and corporate tech
departments — can stay innovative while also
becoming more inclusive and shares her advice for
leaders who want to help. Whitney is the author of the new
book Rebooting Tech Culture: How to Ignite Innovation and
Build Organizations Where Everyone Can Thrive.
