Diversity of Thought – What Is It and How Do You Implement It as a Diversity Initiative
LEARNING OBJECTIVE: Define diversity of thought and how to implement it.
Diversity is a resource to be accessed and utilized for superior performance and innovation in part because of “more- than-one-way- thinking” which results in innovation and creates an agile workforce. Access to diversity of thought is blocked unless organizations also create an environment of fairness, non-discrimination, respect, trust and where employees feel that their voices matters. The social justice side of the diversity conversation is directly linked to the performance side, without it, Diversity of Thought is a human resource withheld. Diversity of thought allows for differing perspectives on ideas and unique insights into problems, it creates opportunities for innovation and partnerships in unexpected places where ideas will develop into newer and more forward-thinking ideas that can be implemented as successful business strategies.
