There is a great deal of research showing the benefits of diversity in companies. A 2017 Boston Consulting Group (BCG) study identified diversity as a key driver of innovation, finding that diverse teams produce 19% more revenue. It only makes sense that high-performing teams are composed of people who bring a variety of perspectives and cognitive approaches which leads to more creativity and innovation, and therefore making better decisions.
