 “The challenge is to have diversity ingrained fully into the overall strategy of a business, and embodied by its people. Only through meaningful engagement and maximizing the contributions of each member of an organization can we truly integrate diversity as a natural part of the way we innovate. This is not easy, but the rewards are great.”
