The bonuses that accrue from diversity rest on logical, mechanistic principles but achieving them requires understanding people, and how to create inclusive spaces that encourage frank considerations of ideas. Not easy, given how our thoughts are often tied up with our identities. In this webinar, Scott Page will take on some of the whys and hows of being an effective diverse organization.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\r\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\r\n\u003Cstrong\u003EAbout the Speaker\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\r\nScott E.
