The Business Case for Diverse Teams

After doing a thorough review of studies performed by organizations like Harvard Business Review, Forbes, Scientific American, and myriad scholars working in American universities, we can say with confidence: diverse teams are more profitable and successful than homogenous teams.  

Hiring managers and decision-makers often value diversity and understand that it’s important, but struggle when others in their organization ask for “the numbers to support it.”  Some people even argue that there's no way to quantify the financial impact that diverse teams can have on a company.  Those people are wrong.  Diverse teams make quantifiably more money, and arguably better software.

This to-the-point session will help business people understand the operational considerations of diversity and inclusion, the numbers behind why it works, and ways to change the culture and demographics of teams they work with.

Attendees Will Leave With:

• An understanding of studies done about the performance of diverse teams across industries
• Information they can bring to their decision team when making hiring choices
• A high-level understanding of the mechanics of team dynamics that benefit from diversity
