Sidebar: Inclusivity and Productivity

Thursday, June 28, 2012 | 12:30PM–1:00PM | Azalea, Garden Level
Session Type: Professional Development
This short session will prompt us to think about the significance that heterogeneity can play in contributing to the creativity and productivity of an organization. Research indicates that diverse and heterogeneous groups are twice as effective as homogeneous groups in problem solving. This session will help us think about ways to more deliberately foster inclusive organizational practices that build IT community and can increase creative collaboration within and between IT units.
