Organizations that are ‘more diverse’ in their composition are ultimately more successful. As long as diversity becomes ‘celebrated’ and is seen as providing a valuable contribution to achieving goals. Organizations with broad diversity reflect the diversity of society in general. This makes it easier for organizations to adapt to the developments within that same society. As these developments follow each other at an ever higher pace, the flexibility offered by diversity is almost a prerequisite for success and staying ahead. Understanding and awareness of what’s happening around us and making sure it works, only succeeds if all your senses are in direct contact with the world around you. Appreciating that diversity can further strengthen your organizations success is just the first step. There is still a long road before diversity is truly embraced and implemented. Look at things from a different angle is key, together with learning to think and act differently. A healthy dialogue on the power of diversity, based on the diversity of the organization, is key.
