Aspen Digital’s Product Equity Working Group is excited to share a new, free LinkedIn Learning course, Equality & Equity in the World of Product. This course is designed to spark meaningful dialogue around building more equitable products and represents a significant milestone for the Working Group. The course is inspired by and represents the culmination of a year-long collaboration and in-depth discussions among tech industry leaders, academia, and subject matter experts, on how to approach the practice of Product Equity.
What started as an initiative to create a codified nomenclature for Product Equity work led us to confront a primary question: What do equality and equity mean in the context of product development? This seemingly simple question prompted an in-depth examination of how these principles should be applied to product design and development processes in the practice of Product Equity.
The creation of the LinkedIn Learning course exemplifies the spirit and purpose of the Product Equity Working Group, where companies collaborate together on pressing issues and then go on to implement collective findings in their own work. Initiatives like the LinkedIn Learning course are not official products of the Working Group but independent efforts to thrust our ongoing conversations into action.
