When Diversity and Disruption Intersect
When you get the right people in a room (or in most cases today, on a video call), magical things can happen. New ideas are shared and new opportunities are discovered. But make no mistake, the "right people" doesn't mean the "same people." As CEO of The Medici Group, Frans Johansson spends his days consulting with business leaders on the value of Diversity, Equity & Inclusion (DE&I), and how they support business differentiation and growth. He founded the business following the release of his 2004 book, The Medici Effect: What Elephants and Epidemics Can Teach Us About Innovation. The book drove home one key point, according to Johansson: \u201cDiversity drives innovation. When you bring together different perspectives, you have a better shot at breaking new ground.\u201d
