This Financial Times article by Tim Smedley from May 15, 2014, does a nice job of summarizing numerous research studies that support the business case for diversity. And the 1960 picture he used in the article is just priceless- 100% white men seated around the executive decision making table.
Sadly, women directors and above know all too well how common it is even in 2015, to walk into a room and see nothing but white male faces looking back at you.
We must compel change. Companies are missing out on innovation and women are missing out on the benefits of rising to the top. It’s time for a level playing field.
