DIVERSITY
OF THINKING
The key to successfully implementing diversity is to have a staff with diverse backgrounds and diverse thought.
What we do
They key to using diversity to an organization’s advantage is to use the strong relationships, unique backgrounds and diverse experiences of the team members.
DI Research
The idea that our thinking is shaped by our culture, background, experiences, and personalities is core to the concept of diverse thought and at our next Diversity Leadership Program event, we will take a critical look at diversity of thought.
Divergency
Many organisations strive for ‘diversity of thought’ as a key goal in their diversity & inclusion efforts. While this is important, a focus on this to the exclusion of all else can be counterproductive.
Human Capital Management
When hiring, it is important to distinguish potential employee’s whose values align with the company’s core values. Once a core value connection is established, another important consideration is diversity.
Business Strategy
You may not always agree with each other, but the strong relationships will help overcome the disagreements, allowing the team to uncover the best plans of action.
Diversity by Design
Diversity is reality but inclusion is a choice. Diversity is all around us but we decide as leaders whether or not to make full use of diversity around us. Inclusive leaders listen, observe and learn from people.
Accelerating Performance
Create high-performance through leveraging the diversity of thinking, perspective and backgrounds of team members. Building an understanding of unconscious bias and our reactions to difference in the workplace, and the impact these have on our decision-making.

Why we are different
We help leaders create higher levels of psychological safety so people can speak up, provide different views, and bring their full selves to work. We identify individual actions and commitments to improving each participant’s inclusive leadership capability and we create momentum towards a more inclusive workplace and culture.
Our Latest Work
In our sessions, we use experiential learning techniques that challenge traditional mindsets and engage leaders, managers and employees through honest discussion
Our approach ensures that the session is tailored to the needs of the team and the individuals within the team, allowing participants to challenge and adapt their behaviours in a safe environment.
Our Skills
People think differently, with different priorities and a desire for different outcomes.
Managing these differences is critical to success and this is where the Diversity of Thinking model proves to be an invaluable tool. Our aim is not to create teams of like-minded individuals. Far from it. (One study revealed that teams with a full range of thinking preferences are 66% more effective!) Our aim is to help you take full advantage of different thinking styles by aligning them in such a way that the team enjoys the synergistic effect of becoming greater than the sum of its parts.
- Theoretical – 90%
- Intuitive – 77%
- Rational – 85%
- Realistic – 75%
Our focus is on empowering the diversity of thinking that generates truly successful innovations: it isn’t just about thinking up brilliant new ideas —– it is about deep empathy for customers, removing process bottlenecks, and creating a business model that captures the newly created value.
