__NOTOC__
== Description ==
Build teams with people who think differently and have different perspectives (i.e., cognitive diversity), regardless of the team’s technical focus.

== Rationale ==
Teams with maximised cognitive diversity outperform other teams, all other things being equal. Scott E. Page, in his book “The Difference”<ref>Page, S. E. (2007). ''The difference: How the power of diversity creates better groups, firms, schools, and societies'' (3. print., and 1. paperback print., with a new preface). Princeton Univ. Press.</ref> , examines the evidence for this.

Teams with a high deviation (cognitive diversity) from the standard perspective are more likely to solve a problem than non-diverse teams, according to an experiment reported in the Harvard Business Review<ref>Lewis, D. G., & Reynolds, Alison. (2017). Teams Solve Problems Faster When They’re More Cognitively Diverse. ''Harward Business Review''.</ref>. A high degree of cognitive diversity could generate accelerated learning and performance in the face of new, uncertain, and complex situations.

In a scaled environment, there is often a tendency to choose team members with a focus on knowledge, skills and experiences and to forget about selecting for broader cognitive diversity.

The following are aspects that can be observed in a Team where cognitive diversity is having an impact on the life of the team:
* More options are offered and discussed before agreeing on a solution
* Multiple alternative perspectives are visible in discussions
* There is an appreciation for different ideas
* Creativity sparks from different ideas being discussed
* Often there is more tolerance to the other’s point of views
