We’re at Bletchley Park, the once-secret home of code-breaking during World War II, standing by the Veteran Stories exhibition to share updates on our #MovetheNeedle project with Alces Flight and Women in High Performance Computing (WHPC) . Since launching the project, members of our #HPC community have come forward to share their experiences and innovative ideas on advancing #EDIA. We’ve had contributions from Nages Sieslack from ISC High Performance, Ludovic Capelli from EPCC, and many others who have shared valuable insights. Our knowledge portal houses all the information gathered on EDIA for the computing community. Check out our halfway report to learn more about these findings and how you can get involved! https://buff.ly/4eQzUcO Learn more about Bletchley Park: https://buff.ly/2MvWB8d #EDIA #Supercomputing #EDI #Tech

Defining Purpose and Vision: The Blueprint for a Strong Volunteer Organisation At the heart of every successful volunteer organisation is a clear and compelling mission. In our latest Move the Needle project interview with Women in High Performance Computing (WHPC), Marion Weinzierl and Jeremy Cohen highlight that a well-defined purpose and vision are crucial for guiding efforts and aligning everyone toward common goals. A strong mission statement unites members around a shared objective and provides direction for all activities. But a clear purpose alone isn’t enough, you also need a strategic plan to achieve it. This includes setting specific goals, establishing accountability, and regularly reviewing progress to keep the community on track. Avoiding “scope creep,” where focus drifts from the original mission, is essential for sustaining momentum and building a resilient, impactful organisation. Understanding the diverse ways individuals and institutions operate allows for tailored approaches, ensuring smoother collaboration and more effective outcomes. With a clear purpose, a well-thought-out plan, and a commitment to your vision, your volunteer organisation can thrive and make a lasting difference.

Expanding Horizons: How to Grow Your Community on a Global Scale Taking your community from a local to a global scale opens up thrilling opportunities but also brings unique challenges. In our latest Move the Needle project interview with Women in High Performance Computing (WHPC), Marion Weinzierl and Jeremy C. explore how to navigate these hurdles effectively. Managing time zone differences, varying institutional practices, and cultural diversity requires thoughtful planning and clear communication. To build a cohesive international community, consider scheduling events to accommodate multiple time zones or providing recorded sessions for those who can’t join live. Consistent communication is key to setting expectations and ensuring everyone feels included and valued. Embracing diverse practices and perspectives from around the globe not only enriches your community but also fosters innovation and fresh insights. By focusing on inclusivity and strategic planning, you can grow your community across borders, creating a dynamic and interconnected network that thrives on global collaboration.

We’re at Bletchley Park Trust, the birthplace of modern computing, where Cristin Merritt shares updates on the Move the Needle project with Alces Flight and Women in High Performance Computing (WHPC). For those aiming to advance EDIA, we’ve identified six best practices for driving change: the size of your organisation impacts how quickly change can happen, so it’s essential to understand your workplace culture and how it has evolved over time. Developing clear goals with actionable steps is crucial, and leadership must be committed to driving change and actively involved. Additionally, allyship is vital, as everyone needs a seat at the table to foster inclusivity. Finally, investment in time, resources, and clear outcomes is necessary for success.
