Diversity of thought: what it means in building effective & representative teams

Elixirr is proud to present Challenger Network News, the show that takes your weekly news round-up to the next level. Hosted by Matt Gorman, Partner at Elixirr, we debate the top news stories of the week alongside industry experts.

Diversity of thought is a term often misused and misunderstood. Rather than being a target, it should be an outcome of effective diversity and inclusion efforts, where organisations successfully harness and nurture the wide range of perspectives and perceptions that come from a truly diverse team. If achieved properly, this will be hugely influential to business performance.

So where should organisations begin if they want to benefit from diversity of thought?

Catch up on episode 24 of Challenger Network News tomorrow to hear Shamraz Begum, Co-Lead of Racial Equality Taskforce at NatWest, discuss the role that leadership and HR teams must play in nurturing a diverse workplace alongside Amirah Kolia, part of the Africa team at Elixirr.
