Leveraging Diversity for Creativity
Beyond surface level characteristics, diversity is complex and nuanced and largely influenced by underlying attributes.
Culture is about our social identity that stems from membership of multiple groups we belong to. Our cultural identities shape the way in which we see the world - we are culturally located.
Self-awareness is a critical step in the process of creating a culturally intelligent team that is able to harness that power for creativity.
Overview
Suitable for all staff
In this session we look at 'what we know' from a psychological perspective, showcasing research and insights that demonstrate the power and benefits of diversity.
These benefits include the fact that diverse cultural perspectives can inspire creativity and drive innovation, enable a business to be more competitive, produce better targeted marketing and deliver greater opportunity for personal and professional growth.
We explain how to leverage team diversity for better creativity and innovation - the ability to think differently about the world around you is so essential to creativity. We explore the concept of ‘cultural brokerage’, defined as the act of facilitating interactions between individuals across cultural boundaries, to leverage their diversity for enhanced creative performance.
We draw on examples of organisations who are embracing difference to great benefit and success.
The key message is how cultural diversity and subsequent diversity of thought and perspective can bring valuable benefits in the form of creativity, innovation and belonging.
