Diversity is much-praised for fostering healthier and more innovative workplaces. But whichever way you slice ‘diversity’, the majority of our teams reflect one demographic, and simply adding “a diverse hire” does not magically produce these results. So are the claims true? If so, what else do we need to do?
Through our time training and placing coders from widely differing backgrounds we’ve had to get to grips with the realities of integrating teams.
This talk looks at different kinds of diversity, and explores the link with quality and innovation. We also investigate some of the unconscious biases and infrastructure challenges that reinforce exclusion.
With collaboration at their heart, agile teams are best placed to promote inclusion. How can we extend agile practices to place conscious attention on creating connections and to build truly healthy, demographically representative teams?

“I soon realized that there were
two ways in which I could
respond to my situation:
either to react with bitterness or
seek to transform the
suffering into a creative
force.
I decided to follow the latter
course.”
