Speaker bio:
Barbara Waugh is the Co-Founder of World eInclusion with Hewlett Packard.
From her biography:
A longtime radical activist, Barabara Waugh joined Hewlett-Packard 20 years ago, and used her successive positions as company recruiting manager, and personnel director and worldwide change manager for the renowned HP Labs to transform HP’s corporate culture. Along the way she invented and discovered a set of “radical tools” for introducing practical change and energizing altruism at all levels of the organization. The book has received enthusiastic reviews from Dow-Jones to Fast Company to the San Francisco Chronicle; and has been the subject of dozens of talk shows and interviews. Barbara’s work has been featured in many publications on organizational change, including The Dance of Change; The Rebel Rules; The 12 Secrets of Highly Creative Women, Surfing the Edge of Chaos; Fast Company, Business 2.0, and Strategy & Business.
Determined from the beginning to put teeth into the idea of “doing well by doing good,” Barbara developed HP’s breakthrough programs for women and minority recruiting, mentored outstanding people throughout HP, and received Management Legacy awards from both the HP Technical Women’s Conference and the HP Deaf and Hard of Hearing Forum. She co-founded HP’s Sustainability Network, as well as e-Inclusion, a business initiative and program to provide the four billion people at the bottom of the global economic pyramid access to the social and economic opportunities of technology. Barbara is currently a researcher at Hewlett-Packard Laboratories, and an HP internal consultant and coach. HP Lab’s function is to deliver breakthrough new and advanced technologies and strategies that provide a competitive advantage for HP, and contribute to the world.
