2. The Good News: Data To Use Diversity & Complexity - Scott Page
In any and all systems (nature, corporate, educational, disease), the more diverse the system, the stronger and more likely to persist and succeed.
Mathematically demonstrable: a formula to predict the higher likelihood of success of diverse systems

Good news for you at PoCC & SDLC:
You were smart to come here. And picked to come here as leaders.
You’ll be better leaders when you leave. And smarter!
Those that refuse to embrace diversity will miss the boat to the future of the species.
