Does Having Diversity in Your Workplace Feel More Like Drama and Less Like Productivity? In a business world where marketplaces and workforces are becoming more diverse, the traditional mono-culture approach is a drag on productivity and profit; it’s an igniting point for drama. Whether in a marketplace or workforce, diversity is simply a mix of different people, not a catalyst to productivity, unless, your diverse workforce develops Cultural Intelligence.

Why Build Cultural Intelligence?
Companies with the most ethnic diversity on their executive team are 43% more likely to experience higher profitability. (McKinsey & Co., 2017)
