Examples of the power of diversity are around us all the time. They make<br />
a compelling case for using diversity management to get better results, solve<br />
problems, make better decisions, and create innovative services. Yet, we<br />
often miss these compelling signs. Why? We don’t know what to look for.<br />
The field of diversity has been so consumed with basic diversity issues<br />
(representation, image, recruiting, retention) that many people have<br />
overlooked the power of “true diversity” to create value and results. This<br />
course provides a glimpse into the possibilities of diversity management<br />
when it is approached as a strategy and viewed through the lens of “capacity<br />
to create value.” It explores:<br />
• Why “management” is essential to getting value from diversity<br />
• How to determine “true diversity” based on perspectives, heuristics,<br />
interpretations, and predictive models<br />
• How to use diversity as a trigger for innovation<br />
• Examples of how diversity produces performance, productivity,<br />
creativity, quality decisions, and commercial value<br />
