Innovation Roundtable, a World 50 Group Community ’s Post

Wizer's new blog just dropped and it's about mixing up the status quo of decision making. You know the kind – where the same group of people are always at the helm. It’s familiar, a little boring, and predictable. Now should be the era of diversity in decision-making. It’s not just a nice-to-have; it’s the secret ingredient for innovation and success. DEI in decision-making isn’t just about fairness. It’s about being smart in business. We know diversity companies perform better. I am passionate because it's about time we included people in decisions who have the right expertise and diversity, rather than a conventional appearance. #DiversityWins #InnovateWithWizer #NewEraDecisionMaking #GameChangers #dei #decisions #wiseCrowds

We're jumping into the new year with a new theme: "Inclusive Policy Solutions: Essentials for a Diverse World". These theme comes on the heels of the December 2023 McKinsey report "Diversity Matters Even More", the fourth report in a series investigating the business case for diversity. This report drew from a dataset spanning 1,265 companies, 23 countries, and six global regions to explore the impact of diversity on financial performance, communities, workforces, and the environment. "This year, the business case is the strongest it has been since we’ve been tracking," the report reads. "Further, a striking new finding is that leadership diversity is also convincingly associated with holistic growth ambitions, greater social impact, and more satisfied workforces." Here's an interesting statistic from the report: executive teams in the top quartile of ethnic representation have a 39 percent increased likelihood of outperformance compared to those in the bottom quartile.

These aren't just challenges but valuable opportunities for strategic growth and innovation.
