Improving Innovation Through Gender Diversity*
When women are involved, meetings improve and so does team decision-making
More inclusive teams produce more innovation
Companies with more women at highest levels earn more, better P/E ratio, happier employees & customers
Non-inclusive culture is the biggest impediment to these rewards
