Experiential Diversity

Diversity matters when it comes to innovation. The means by which ideas are turned into some form of value is complex and influenced by people in numerous ways based on their lived experiences.

These lived experiences will be linked to a range of factors including demographics and social factors, but also cognitive diversity and people’s day-to-day experiences of life - including their career experiences.

This unique individual mix  of demographics, social context, cognitive diversity, and career experience are what we describe here as ‘Experiential Diversity’ - and an organisation’s capability and capacity to innovate will benefit from an increased understanding of how their experiential diversity is linked to boosting innovation.
