CATALYSING COGNITIVE DIVERSITY IN THE BOARDROOM
Explore this potent performance dynamic and its wider benefits for inclusion with your peers from other boards through a convenient residential programme designed for busy board members.
A PROVEN GAME-CHANGER
Research demonstrates that more cognitively diverse teams perform significantly better. Yet the qualitative benefits are not truly leveraged within the boardroom.
Cognitive diversity also provides the new language to stimulate a greater impact from demographic diversity.
PROBLEM-SOLVING
In the boardroom, complex problems frequently arise. Cognitive diversity enables the board to leverage its capabilities to produce better outcomes.
DECISION-MAKING
Decision-making and supervision are where the board proves its worth. Opportunities and risks can be explored more deeply, ideas tested and decisions made with more assurance.
INNOVATION
Completely novel ideas can be generated, which allows the board to improve the strategy and test it more fully.
"Individual diversity or diversity of thought rather than demographic diversity is the most top-of-mind and valued aspect of diversity in the boardroom, including functional diversity."
