*	Diversity and Innovation

Innovation is one of a company's core capabilities. Business thrives on
continuous improvement and development of superior solutions. None of
these things would be possible without the employees. Furthermore, the
ability to leverage diversity is a critical part of our success. 

Diversity and innovation go hand in hand. Innovation provides the seeds
for economic growth, and for that innovation to happen we each need to
focus as much on collective difference as on our own individual ability.

Many companies have untapped resources because employees are not
encouraged to share different ideas or perspectives. Employees
frequently hear "That is the way we have always done it." New ideas are
not welcomed and the ability to grow becomes stifled. The challenge is
to create an environment that stimulates people and encourages growth
and innovation. You can make a difference by: 


*	Listening to ideas different than your own

*	Learning about others' different approaches with optimism and
enthusiasm

*	Leveraging ideas to develop the best possible solutions

A variety of perspectives brings new ways of searching for superior
solutions. Regardless of job title, experience, education, or
background, EVERYBODY applies their own unique perspectives when
confronted with a challenge. If we learn to leverage our own particular
insights we can help to locate new, possibly better, solutions. It's
important to remember that in solving problems or challenges, no
perspective or insight is any better than any other. Any approach may
be just as good as any other until it is tested. 

Simply put - Diversity trumps individual ability!
