Atricle Dump - Innovation Management - Diversity Can Make All The Difference
To create the life you really want can be hard work AND it's totally worth it. Why is it so many of us think we have to do it ALL by ourselves! If this sounds like you, stop right now! To create and live the life you really want is much easier if you surround yourself with the five people below -- huggers,
In conclusion, increased diversity is good. Doh!

Kal Bishop,
Change Your Career,Change your Life!Lots of times I see and talk to people who are tired, bored and burnt out of their current jobs. I'm not sure what causes this dis- satisfaction. One reason, though, that I've thought about is that the work they are doing is not their life passion.
It is incredible that this concept is getting coverage in 2005. I mean, how many new ideas, novel ideas and divergent thinking is going to come from an all male, white board!
Employees tell us that when you bring together a team that represents different perspectives and different experiences, the outcome is richer than if you had a group of people with the same background (The Sunday Times, April 10 2005). Doh!
Reducing the above to the basics of creativity (problem identification and idea generation) and innovation (idea selection, development and commercialisation), it is beyond obvious that diversity and intellectual cross-pollination produces better results:
a) Creativity can be defined as the production of a number of ideas, the production of a number of diverse ideas and the production of a number of novel ideas. Increasing the number, diversity and novelty of participants increases all three (further, manipulating group structures maximises output).
b) Similar individuals have a greater tendency for groupthink, path dependency and parochialism.
c) Diverse and novel participants increase frame breaking.
d) Radical change requires the introduction of new knowledge – less likely without sets of divergent individuals.
e) Radical shifts are more often the result of cumulative incremental changes; degrees of incremental change increase with diversity.
f) Good ideas result from increased tacit knowledge. A diverse group increases the tacit knowledge pool.
g) Good ideas benefit from collaboration – the introduction of a wide knowledge base into the equation.
h) Good ideas benefit from the utilisation of networks – the introduction of a wide knowledge base into the equation.
In conclusion, increased diversity is good. Doh!

Kal Bishop,
For many of you who are businessman and businesswomen, traveling becomes second nature. As you jump from city to city, it gets to the point where people ask you what you do for a living and you have to refrain from saying, “I’m a Nomad, what about you?” Traveling for business can certainly be a pain in the

Kal Bishop,
A couple of years ago I was having a bad time. Sales were down. Business was non-existent. The wind had gone out of my sails. I had a sinking feeling, like I was going down for the third time . . . and I couldn’t even recall the first two. Yet, each time someone asked me, “How’s business,” I would reply, “G
