If you are just hiring people so that you can take a photo that then goes on the web side or goes on the front of the college brocerr right, like that, doesn't really promote much innovation. So im laughing because obviously describing a situation thathas happened. Lets you say a few times. A, ya, i did. I didn't create that out of atier. Ya a, you have the diversity, but that's only 50 % of the equation. The other part of it is inclusion. And here you are seeing another mass hurdle.

You often hear that “there are no bad ideas” when brainstorming–but why is that? In those instances, doesn’t it feel inevitable that someone’s going to pitch a bad idea? Frans Johansson is a writer who argues that in fact, innovation actually happens when people, ideas, and disciplines intersect. Whether it’s one field of science collaborating with another, or many cultures mixing, Frans says that a wide range of perspectives are the key to seeing a problem in a totally new light. In this episode he shares examples of how diversity leads to transformation, and provides tips on how to unlock your next great idea.
