Diversity – difference and friction

In Uncategorized on January 17, 2007 at 7:14 am

I found a really interesting link about the productive value of diversity via John Hagel’s Edge Perspectives. As yesterday was Martin Luther King day, he reflected on Scott Page’s new book, The Difference: How the Power of Diversity Creates Better Groups, Firms, Schools, and Societies. John says: “it provides the most penetrating and systematic exploration yet available of various forms of diversity and precisely how diversity enhances both problem-solving and predictions.”

Sounds fantastic.. looking forward to reading that.
