Enhance and Promote Diversity

Hacking Team

Do just the concept that we are not all equal in terms of potential capacity.
We are all born equal, but the first cry begin to walk different and personal paths that will lead to the formation of unique individuals.
Before we learn to manage diversity, we must learn to understand and accept differences.

Hi Giuseppe - thanks for sharing. I agree diversity and inclusion is key to the adaptable organization, it has already come out strongly during this Hackathon.

>> Before we learn to manage diversity, we must learn to understand and accept differences.

I've highlighted the text above because I think this is at the heart of the mini-hack you're suggesting. It implies an organization-wide program of change, encompassing many things e.g. learning, behaviors, culture, mindset and so on. I'm sure there's a whole lot more.

Am I on the right lines?

Hi Keith,
of course there is much more, than what you've mentioned.
At the base of all there is a new organizational model that will make it possible to implement these initiatives.
The important thing is that we start talking about ...
There are many small actions, which taken individually, can not generate any change ... which is why we need a new organizational model that serves as a network of implementation, development and finalization of these initiatives.
I'm working on and I'm at a good point ... then I will ask a hand to MIX for the sharing and dissemination.
Stay in touch

Absolutely agree Giuseppe and Heidi. If humans were bees - diversity would be our pollen!

In my experience, HR are most concerned with consistency and fairness due to their close relationships with the Trade Unions. While consistency and fairness are important, it should never be at the detriment of taking away uniqueness. Large organisations operate on 'one-size-fits-all' solutions on the premise of 'economies of scale' and in the process sell their soul in achieving perceived efficiencies. In fact 'one-size-fits-all' fits no one and creates less efficiencies!

Diversity = strength!
