According to Dr. Gates: "Any organization that sees diversity as simply about human difference is woefully behind the curve. Diversity is an expression of excellence, which shows up as the differences, similarities, complexities and tensions that can be found in any complex situation, task, decision, group, or person. Accordingly, a Strategic Diversity paradigm includes everyone and everything."
His groundbreaking research and thought leadership series, "STRATEGY: The Evolution of Diversity and Inclusion Thought and Practice," is changing the way major corporations understand diversity. The series features Dr. Gates' two decades of research and practice in the field of Strategic Diversity as well as the commentary of diversity executives from 20 leading companies, sports franchises, and nonprofit organizations. The STRATEGY series has been heralded as the authoritative word on contemporary diversity management.
