Diversity and inclusion are vital elements to the success of any group. Indeed, evidence
from the business world indicates that a group's overall talent level is a function
of its collective cognitive diversity. The ability to effectively problem solve, innovate,
and adapt to change all depend to a large degree on the biases and life experiences
of an organization's constituent members. As other industries have come to embrace
this principle, their recruitment strategies have included placing a premium on employees
who can think differently from one another.
