Diversity in Innovation Processes

While companies often integrate their innovation projects into a comprehensive innovation strategy, the way they structure their innovation processes determines how different approaches to solutions will be structured. Incorporating diversity and inclusion (D&I) into innovation processes can contribute to more high-quality results by allowing the team’s creative potential and existing knowledge to be used in the most effective way. This includes differences between groups (e.g., ages, nationalities, genders) and individuals within the respective diversity group. The integration of D&I aspects into innovation processes contributes significantly to developing innovation teams into their full potential.
