Greater Creativity

When members of a diverse team put their heads together to collaborate, they are bringing different histories, backgrounds, perspectives and talents to the table. This variety stimulates creativity. According to Forbes, diverse teams are more creative because each member’s creativity is enhanced by their ability to integrate different points of view, something they call “integrative complexity.” It’s a skill honed by interacting with co-workers and others from different backgrounds. This integrative complexity heightens awareness of underlying connections between different ideas and enhances idea flexibility.
