Diversity isn't just about having more people from different backgrounds; it’s about unlocking a wealth of perspectives that drive innovation. In business, these perspectives translate into real numbers: according to Harvard Business Review (2020), culturally diverse teams generate 19% more revenue from innovation compared to their homogeneous counterparts. This shows that teams with varied cultural backgrounds not only accelerate innovation cycles but also create products that resonate with users and develop adaptable solutions —essential elements for thriving in agile environments.
