LSAA Masterclass Series

Unlocking the strategic value of DE&I for innovation, patient outcomes & market leadership

What it is?

In life sciences and healthcare, competitive advantage is built on innovation, trust, and performance. Yet too often, organisations underestimate the strategic role diversity, equity, and inclusion (DE&I) plays in unlocking all three.

Launching July 2025, this high-impact masterclass series is designed for senior executives who recognise that the stakes are too high and the opportunities too great... for DE&I to remain a compliance exercise.

Led by The Black Sherpa in partnership with Life Sciences Access Academy (LSAA), this four-part series will explore:

Why traditional ED&I efforts stall—and what progressive leaders do differently

The risks of inaction: missed innovation, eroded trust, and untapped talent

How inclusive leadership drives market relevance and improves patient outcomes

Practical strategies for embedding ED&I into core business functions, R&D, commercial.
