Scott Page's model of diversity--less a glorious rainbow of superficial attributes, more a toolkit crammed with different skills and perspectives--is a powerful way to appreciate the problem with homogeneity. --Tim Harford, Financial Times Scott Page . . . makes a very pragmatic, even clinical, case for diversity. He presents evidence on how 'cognitive diversity'--people perceiving, analysing and solving problems in different ways--can benefit the bottom line of any organization. --Nature Astronomy This very clear and compelling book will help people consider specifically what shape their challenges and problems take and what kind of diversity will help address them. --Diane Coyle, The Enlightened Economist The evidence is well presented by Page, who reiterates with his convincing analysis the importance of genuine inclusion. --Hashi Mohamed, Prospect
