U-M Professor and Researcher Dr. Scott E. Page, a leading thinker, writer, and speaker whose guidance and consultation are sought after around the country, makes an evidence-based, compelling case for diversity and inclusion in the workplace. His research findings presents overwhelming evidence that teams that include different kinds of thinkers outperform homogenous groups on complex tasks, producing what he calls “diversity bonuses.” These bonuses include improved problem solving, increased innovation, and more accurate predictions―all of which lead to better performance and results.

Drawing on research in economics, psychology, computer science, Dr. Page will speak to the U-M Community about how we can change the way we think about diversity in the workplace, and tap its power to create excellence.
