Focus Forward: Focus Forward Harnessing Diversity and “Unlikemindedness”

Diversity is a word with numerous connotations. At a recent meeting with some distinguished management colleagues, several hours spent discussing the concept of diversity. To some, its mention evokes the narrow realm of hiring practices and policies. In fact, diversity is a much broader and richer term, albeit one that is not easily defined. These conversations led me to examine some definitions of diversity and to consider how they might apply to the regulatory profession.
