The key to making better decisions is found in the capability of unity in diversity. By going beyond traditional patterns of relationships based on unity in uniformity and division in diversity, we discover how diversity can enrich our understanding and lead to better decisions.

By taking advantage of diversity, we not only make better decisions but can also carry out more complex projects than what we could do with a group of people who all think the same.
