What are the best ways to balance growth and innovation for a company?
After reading all the informative contributions to this article, I am still missing a point I consider relevant. I can’t read the words growth and innovation without thinking about: A. the life cycle (of a company or a product): Birth, Growth, Maturity, Decline. B. Prosperity Usually, a first innovative and successful product is the main responsible of prosperity creation and growth of a company: iPhone, Nutella, Dyson Vacuum cleaner, Playstation, Wii, Google search engine, etc. When companies reach maturity, they forget about prosperity and start focusing on small incremental changes to keep available products selling more. The best companies don’t ever forget about the importance innovation has in creating new kind of prosperity.

What advantages come with having a diverse design leadership team?
True, diversity has the power to improve creativity for all the many reasons already pointed above. However, I like to stress more an underestimated point: Diversity boosts options generation; diversity enhance optionality, despite being more or less creative. When diversity is missing or when the diversity of a team is stifled, making the team not inclusive, the best goal we can reach are more generic ideas built around just a few relevant concepts. When diversity takes the lead, the design process becomes inclusive and allows the members of the team to express many different POVs and then to look and design for a specific idea able to answer to all the many different and relevant concepts shared.

What advantages come with having a diverse design leadership team?
Diversity is the step every company should take to have more chance to embrace inclusion. Without diversity being inclusive is much more different, difficult and often not effective. Looking and building diversity in a team and its leadership has a unique power for design: it nudges “designing with” and substitutes the trendy “designing for” that despite showing good intentions, it hides less inclusion than the former.
