IWIB Lunch & Learn Session on Diversity - The Devil's Advocate

Urban Björn is the author of the book "Business As Equals" released this past April - in Swedish, where he shares tips and advice on how to successfully drive a gender equality workplace, and get the great business potential in increased diversity and strengthen.  At a time when it is now assumed that diversity leads to more fervent and successful decisions, also thinks that the variance-based recruitment trend is worrying. Can Equity be one of the reasons for polarization? Us and them. You and us? Is it even going to be a total 'we'? Will 'we' not always hold sub-groupings where polarization picks up? Is it not precisely the differences of sub-groupings that create the 'throaty' conflict that leads to innovation and success? Without conflict- do we not accept stagnation? 

Perhaps the problem is not polarisation itself. According to Urban sometime we have to play 'Devil's advocate'. And, not see the word polarization as just negative.

Welcome!
