Unleashing the Power of Diversity

Bjørn Ekelund is Senior Consultant and Chairman of the Board at Human Factors AS in Norway, as well as a Research Fellow at Simon Fraser University's Centre for Global Workforce Strategy in Canada.

Unleashing the Power of Diversity provides a clear tool for developing a common language across teams and organizations that reinforces positive identity, builds trust in people and processes, promotes innovation, and aids in the sustainability of diversity.

Many organizations and teams are now dealing with global problems that include cultural, social, and environmental concerns. Climate change, mass migration, and human rights issues do not respect national borders or socioeconomic groups. To solve these complex problems, we must be able to communicate effectively across differences that might otherwise divide us.

Bjørn Ekelund, award-winning consultant and author, presents a clear step-by-step approach to communicating with people who have different mindsets, perspectives, and cultural backgrounds in this groundbreaking book. It is relevant and applicable in a variety of contexts, including the workplace, inter-professional, across industries and cultures, and between corporate, governmental, and non-governmental organizations.

The Diversity Icebreaker program, described in the book, has been implemented successfully in 70 countries and with 250,000 participants. It demonstrates how to break down these barriers and provides a new way to conceptualize diversity across various boundaries, allowing for the formation of trust and unity and paving the way for improved communication.
