Editor's Notes
- Thank Stan Adams and his Committee for booking me Booz, Allen, Hamilton leadership and those in attendance.
- 1. The General Conference of UNESCO took this position in 2001, asserting in Article 1 of the Universal Declaration on Cultural Diversity that "...cultural diversity is as necessary for humankind as biodiversity is for nature" 2. Research carried out in the 1990s by David Crystal (Honorary Professor of Linguistics at the University of Wales, Bangor) suggested that at that time, on average, one language was falling into disuse every two weeks. He calculated that if that rate of the language death were to continue, then by the year 2100 more than 90% of the languages currently spoken in the world will have gone extinct.3
- Cultural Competence- is a set of congruent behaviors, attitudes, and policies that come together in a system or agency or among a group of professionals and enables that system, agency, or group to work effectively in multicultural situations. Discrimination- is defined as the systematic, intended or unintended, denial of recognition, power, privilege, and opportunity to certain people based on the groups to which they belong.
- Institutional Racism-is the conscious or unconscious exercise of notions of racial superiority by social institutions through their policies, practices and procedures as well as through the organizational culture and values. Ethnocentrism-refers to beliefs in the superiority of one’s own race and culture. Introduce a new term: Diversclusion- combination of both diversity and inclusiveness.
- A Temporary Measure to Level the Playing Field Focusing in particular on education and jobs, affirmative action policies required that active measures be taken to ensure that blacks and other minorities enjoyed the same opportunities for promotions, salary increases, career advancement, school admissions, scholarships, and financial aid that had been the nearly exclusive province of whites. From the outset, affirmative action was envisioned as a temporary remedy that would end once there was a "level playing field" for all Americans. Bakke and Reverse Discrimination By the late '70s, however, flaws in the policy began to show up amid its good intentions. Reverse discrimination became an issue, epitomized by the famous Bakke case in 1978. Allan Bakke, a white male, had been rejected two years in a row by a medical school that had accepted less qualified minority applicants-the school had a separate admissions policy for minorities and reserved 16 out of 100 places for minority students. The Supreme Court outlawed inflexible quota systems in affirmative action programs, which in this case had unfairly discriminated against a white applicant Read more: Affirmative Action History & Timeline (Civil Rights Act, Supreme Court Cases, etc) — Infoplease.com http://www.infoplease.com/spot/affirmative1.html#ixzz1dNJGDxhW
- Inclusion is a shift in organization culture. The process of inclusion engages each individual and makes people feeling valued essential to the success of the organization. Individuals function at full capacity, feel more valued, and included in the organization’s mission. This culture shift creates higher performing organizations where motivation and morale soar.
- Multiculturalism values diversity, but systematically works to block the transfer of societally based subcultures into the fabric of the organization. (Schemerthoorn, J.R. (2005) Organizational Behavior 9th ed)
- People lead social lives in a technologically connected world. The Internet has made everything transparent. If your company screws up, consumers will tell their friends -- and the rest of the world -- with a nasty posting online. Conversely, more and more social activity and commerce is taking place online, creating huge opportunities for companies. Watch for turbulent tides of talent. Just as economic centers are shifting, so are labor markets: McKinsey estimates that there are about 33 million young professionals (college-educated folks with about seven years' working experience) in the developing world -- about twice the size of the young professional pool in the developed world. Limited resources, unlimited demand. With 975 million families entering the middle class, the world is going to need to figure out ways to provide them with goods without bankrupting the planet. "Every bit of energy conservation we're able to achieve in the rich world is more than offset by growth in the developing world," Farrell says. This area, she notes, has dramatic potential for innovation. Fighting innovation stagnation 10 things to watch out for if you want to stay on top. By Stephanie N.

- In relation to diversity, then, subjective innovation might be said to stem from the cognitive diversity that visible and non-visible forms of diversity imply. However, the ability of diverse individuals to communicate creative and original thinking to others, and the willingness of those others to listen and respond to such ideas, might be constrained by institutional and non-institutional forms of discrimination, including the degree to which the company has a culture of “inclusion” and the objective structures of organisations within which creative and innovative thinking takes place. As such, any attempt at encouraging “latent” creativity and innovation within and through diverse workforces must be linked with wider management processes and practices in the businesses of themselves.
