AMICUS WEBINAR REPLAY

The Importance of Team Diversity for Innovation in a Crisis

Teams made up of people from diverse backgrounds (cultural, socioeconomic, gender, etc.) have the potential to respond most effectively to a crisis. Why is this and how do we go about realising the innovation capacity of diverse teams?

  • The science behind diversity for innovation.
  • CEO experiences of building diverse teams.
  • Examples of success through diversity.

Join Amicus for an exclusive interactive webinar where we unpack why team diversity is so important for delivering innovation in a crisis.

Duration:

1 hour

What we’ll cover:

  • The difference between macro-level (at the organisational level) and micro-level (at the team-level) diversity.
  • Research on the challenge and potential inherent in overtly diverse teams.
  • The importance of overcoming our tendency to stick with what and whom we know (homophily).
  • Understanding and integrating seemingly conflicting perspectives and ideas (frame-switching).
