“When solving problems in business, having a diversity of perspectives ultimately yields better and more implementable solutions. And companies that are better able to solve problems are better positioned to succeed in the marketplace.

“If diversity and inclusion initiatives are approached as a form of charity, it will result in some people benefiting at the expense of others.

If you look at nature, that’s what diversity does… expand capacity and hedge against risk.”
