Recommendation

Diverse teams tend to be more productive and perform better. More variety in backgrounds and cultures also leads to more creativity and innovation. However, although most managers are aware of the potential benefits, progress on diversity is slow, and even diverse companies often aren’t reaping the benefits that diversity could bring. The Boston Consulting Group uses insights from the fields of biology and strategy to suggest six measures for companies that want to “achieve performance-enhancing diversity.” getAbstract recommends this article to managers aiming to make their organizations more creative and productive by harboring the widest possible range of perspectives.

Take-Aways

  • Diversity strengthens organizations by creating varied approaches to problem solving.
  • To truly benefit from diversity, move beyond “compositional diversity” and aim for a range of personality types.
  • Not all ideas are equally valuable, so the process for selecting the most useful ideas must be ruthless.
