Progress lies in the constructive disruption that cognitive diversity and the dimensions of difference brings to all decision-making tables.

— Trish Mandewo

Why is diversity in C-suites and boards Important?

When it comes to diversity in the c-suite and on boards, the numbers speak for themselves. Research has shown that companies with more diverse senior executives and boards generate stronger financial performance.  At Synergy on Boards Consulting Group, we do not see diversity on boards as a societal issue, we see it as the right business decision. We challenge companies to understand that gender is just one dimension of difference. 

Companies should aim for Heterogeneclusion.  Coined by Trish Mandewo, Heterogeneclusion is the optimal state where diversity is so seamless such that each individual’s unique traits are celebrated and they add to the phenomenal outcomes.

Some of the benefits of diversity

  • Teams and Boards with the optimal balance outperform all others as they have continuity and  also enjoy unbiased decision-making
  • Diversity brings different competencies and balanced perspectives
  • Boards with staggered terms perform better as the routine turnover brings new ideas and experiences.
  • Inclusive teams and boards are creative and they are open to innovative ideas which may improve strategic decision making.
  • Diversity of thoughts stemming from different functional expertise and backgrounds.
