Diversity is about much more than gender, ethnicity, and age – it is truly multidimensional. For senior leadership teams and governance boards to tackle new, uncertain, and complex challenges they need different ways of conceptualizing problems and co-creating solutions.
Introducing the Diversity of Thought Scorecard – a specialised tool that quantifies the potential for wide-ranging thought diversity within groups by measuring pertinent characteristics within three categories: experiences, perspectives and thought preferences.
Developed by a multidisciplinary team, the tool is designed and validated for use by senior leadership teams and governance boards but can be applied to any decision-making group with 5 to 25 members.
Decipher Group have successfully delivered the scorecard to a range of commercial, governmental, and for-purpose organisations, evaluating group capability for wide-ranging thought diversity, and advising on how to realise the benefits of diverse thinking.
What they say
“Participating in the Diversity of Thought Scorecard provided us with the opportunity to open our minds to the different attributes of each team member and what they can bring to the team. It gave us an appreciation of how diversity of thinking may be more important to well-functioning teams and quality of decision making, than diversity in the traditional sense.”
Greg Campbell, Professional Director (Formerly CEO, Ravensdown)
“The DOT Scorecard is a valuable opportunity for executive team development, increasing awareness of the value of diversity of thought and not just physical appearance and how we can use diversity to enhance our problem solving for complex problems. Most importantly though, we got to check in on how we realise our diversity, as this is where the true value of diversity lies.”
